Set of 3 swallows (andorinhas) made of clay, molded and hand-painted by the artisans of Feira de Barcelos (Northern Portugal) to be fixed to the wall (central hole provided for this purpose) indoors or outdoors, or to be placed on a piece of furniture.
Present in all Portuguese homes, the swallow symbolizes the values of family, love and loyalty.
What I like
- These andorinhas represent the best of Portuguese craftsmanship: real artisans, ancestral know-how and ultimate care in manufacturing.
- The central hole that allows these andorinhas to be easily hung on an interior or exterior wall
Characteristics
- Weather resistant (indoor or outdoor use)
- Hole for wall mounting
- Dimensions (1): 11 x 8 cm
- Dimensions (2): 14 x 10 cm
- Dimensions (3): 16 x 12 cm
It was Bordallo Pinheiro who introduced ceramic swallows into the Portuguese popular imagination. The swallow is now an icon of national folklore and a decorative element present in all Portuguese homes.
The swallows of Feira de Barcelos are produced in an artisanal workshop and are hand-painted in different colors.
As a decorative element, they are used both outdoors on a facade or in an entrance, and indoors on a wall.
