Product Details
Iconic and beautifully hand painted fish jug encapsulating the fun that is Bordallo Pinheiro. Whether placed on a shelf in the kitchen or used as a glamouroous water jug, it will always bring a smile to the face and become a talking point. The Portuguese ceramics studio, Bordallo Pinheiro, was set up in 1884. Brothers Raphael and Feliciano Bordallo Pinheiro started the venture, and many of the pieces today are still made to Raphael’s designs. In only twenty-one years, Bordallo Pinheiro’s bold, artistic ceramics gained international recognition. Raphael took inspiration from the flora and fauna around his home town of Caldas, as well as drawing on ideas from the Renaissance and from the Art Nouveau & Naturalism movements.
