According to a now well-known advertising slogan, Portugal is the country where black is color... Is this one of the effects of the black capes of the students of the University of Coimbra? Is it the effect of the black clothes traditionally worn by old women in the countryside? The effect of black chorizo? Black waves on the sidewalks of Lisbon or Porto?

 Why I love it

Black, blue and green vase

Very nice soliflore in fine ceramics made exclusively for Luisa Paixão by one of the best ceramics workshops in Portugal. This small vase can stand alone or receive a single flower. Very contemporary with its pure shapes, bright colors and shiny ceramic, it brightens up a table, a chest of drawers or a bookcase.

• Opening : 3cm

Black ceramic Barcelos Rooster

Black ceramic sardine

Ceramic sardine which finds its place in the whole house and immediately reminds us of Portugal. It can be placed on a piece of furniture thanks to its flat belly but also fixed to the wall thanks to its ventral hole. It is also very much used at the table, as a decorative object or as a cutlery rest.

Black ceramic swallow

Small traditional Portuguese swallow in ceramic with a ventral hole that allows to fix it to the wall or to lay it flat on a piece of furniture.
