Inspired by the Hispano-Moorish motifs that shaped the history of Portuguese azulejos, this decorative tile stands out for the elegance of its relief work and the richness of its colours, entirely hand-finished using traditional artisanal methods.

Slight variations in colour and relief reflect its handmade character and make each piece unique

More informations?

The Hispano-Moorish style reached Portugal in the early 16th century, after King Manuel I’s travels to Seville. The first Portuguese azulejos were imported from Andalusian workshops and were known for their geometric and botanical motifs, as well as their raised lines designed to separate the glazed colours. Some of the finest examples can still be seen today at the Palace of Sintra.
