Bordallo Pinheiro is a well-known Portuguese ceramics brand, known worldwide for their unique and imaginative ceramic wares. It was named after its founder, the Portuguese artist Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro.

Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro was a talented caricaturist, draftsman and ceramist living in Portugal in the 19th century. He was known for his satirical drawings and political cartoons, which were widely published in magazines and newspapers. As he began to transfer his artistic skills to ceramics, he founded the Fábrica de Faianças das Caldas da Rainha in 1884 to establish his ceramic production.

Bordallo Pinheiro's ceramic pieces are known for their vibrant colors, original designs and detailed craftsmanship features. They are characterized by a creative use of natural motifs such as fruits, vegetables, animals and insects. Particularly well-known are the famous "cabbage" (cabbage) bowls and platters, which are modeled after a real head of cabbage. The ceramic cabbage leaves are carefully hand painted and glazed for a lifelike appearance.

Bordallo Pinheiro has developed a wide range of ceramic goods over the years, including plates, bowls, vases, jugs and decorative figurines. The brand has also entered into collaborations with international designers and artists to create contemporary and modern interpretations of traditional ceramics.

Today, Bordallo Pinheiro is a respected brand known for its quality craftsmanship and artistic heritage. The ceramic pieces are made in Portugal and sold in stores around the world. Popular with collectors and ceramics enthusiasts alike, they are often prized as decorative art objects and original gifts.
