The Story Behind the Cabbage:
Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, one of Portugal's most influential 19th-century artists, cleverly transformed the humble cabbage - a symbol of Portugal's rustic ways he often caricatured - into an object of bourgeois desire. By placing it on elegant tables where it otherwise wouldn't be invited, he created an enduring icon that honors Portuguese culture with wit and artistry.
Since 1884, Bordallo Pinheiro has remained faithful to tradition through ancestral manufacturing techniques and the naturalistic motifs at the heart of the brand. Perfect for elegant dinner parties, wedding registries, housewarming gifts, collectors of Portuguese ceramics, or anyone who appreciates the intersection of art, history, and functional beauty.
