Giant black ceramic swallow crafted in the tradition of Caldas da Rainha and its illustrious inventor: Bordallo Pinheiro. This swallow is hollowed out to reduce its weight and has two holes, making it easy to fix to the wall or place flat on a piece of furniture.

The swallow (Andorinha) is now an icon of national folklore and an object found in every Portuguese home. It is used both outdoors on a facade and indoors on a wall.
Feel free to consult our blog post "How to use swallows in decoration?" which includes all the techniques and tips for fixing them to the wall.
This swallow comes from a small workshop located between Caldas da Rainha and Obidos in West-Central Portugal, in the Estremadura province. The molds used there have been passed down from generation to generation, and the workshop owner now uses his grandfather's molds. All pieces are entirely handmade.
