    Decoration with ceramic swallows

    This swallow comes from a small workshop located between Caldas da Rainha and Obidos in the Central-West of Portugal, in the province of Estremadura. The molds used there are passed down from generation to generation, and the owner of the workshop today uses his grandfather's molds. All pieces are made entirely by hand there.
