BORDALLO PINHEIRO

Cabbage Lobster Appetizer Plate In Green

Rustic Portuguese charm meets gourmet dining in this inspired tableware by Bordallo Pinheiro as the brand unites its adored cabbage collection with the lobster. Using traditional ceramic techniques, these verdant hand-painted pieces are made in the workshop where Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro first realized them in the nineteenth-century, playfully insisting that rustic Portuguese life be invited to dine with the bourgeoisie. Deliciously fun and dedicated to craftsmanship, the 'Cabbage with Lobsters' collection includes this large appetizer plate, which can be completed with pieces from the rest of the family for a leafy, surreal statement.

There are several decorative pieces created by Raphael where cabbage leaves, hampers with turnips and garlic, onions, seafood, and fish create a complex exploration of shapes and colors, demonstrating the full potential of the Fábrica de Faianças. Reproducing two emblematic elements of these compositions, "Cabbage with Lobsters" brings Bordllo's sculpture art to the table using a collection of functional pieces that reflect what is most distinctive in the factory nowadays,.
