This black ceramic swallow was created according to the Caldas da Rainha tradition made famous by its legendary creator, Bordallo Pinheiro.

It is handcrafted in a small ceramic workshop in Caldas da Rainha and benefits from a remarkable finish: the ceramic surface is smooth and flawless, the edges are sharply defined, the colours perfectly even and the glossy finish beautifully luminous.

Available in several colours and sizes, it is designed with a discreet opening underneath, allowing it to be wall-mounted or displayed flat on a piece of furniture.

Why I love it

  • The most traditional Portuguese swallows.
  • Exceptional artisanal quality.
  • A bold, elegant and original colour.

 

 

More informations?

This swallow comes from a small workshop located between Caldas da Rainha and Óbidos in western central Portugal, in the historic Estremadura region.

The moulds used there are passed down from generation to generation, and the workshop owner still works today with the moulds inherited from his grandfather. Every piece is entirely handmade.
