Couve I Ceramic Pitcher

This large capacity carafe is ideal for serving iced tea or fruit juice on the terrace in summer or simply water on the dinner table. Its colours and shape inspired by the cabbage (Couve in Portuguese) bring a touch of cheerfulness and originality to any table.

It benefits from an exceptional quality and a great care given to its finishing. The reliefs and details are precise, the surface is perfect and very bright, the colors are brilliant.

• An original, traditional and at the end modern decanter.
• Beautifully handcrafted quality.
• A detailed modelling and a brilliant finish.

This piece comes from a small workshop located between Caldas da Rainha and Obidos in the centre-west of Portugal, in the province of Estremadura. Its design is characteristic of the so-called Caldas da Rainha ceramics, whose most famous author is Bordallo Pinheiro.

The moulds used there have been handed down from generation to generation and the owner of the workshop now uses his grandfather's moulds. All the pieces are made entirely by hand.
