Sardinhas I Ceramic Plate - 20cm

This 20cm ceramic plate celebrates one of Portugal’s most familiar symbols: the sardine. Five fish drawn in black stand out against an ivory background in a deliberately simple, graphic composition, framed by a fine dark outline.

The decoration is created in several stages: the sardine motifs are applied using ceramic transfers to reproduce the details of the drawing with precision, then selected finishes are completed by hand with a brush. This process combines the clarity of the design with the visible presence of artisanal craftsmanship.

With its 20cm (7.9'') diameter, this plate is ideal for serving a starter, dessert, small salad, tapas or a few grilled sardines. It also works perfectly as a small sharing plate for aperitifs and pairs naturally with the other pieces in the collection.
