The Bordallo Pinheiro Pumpkin bowl captures the generosity of autumn in ceramic form. Its rounded silhouette and soft ridges echo the natural rhythm of a pumpkin’s skin, glowing under a rich, hand-applied glaze. Both playful and elegant, it feels organic in the hand, an invitation to bring nature’s sculptural beauty to the table. Perfect for everyday dining or as a seasonal accent, it radiates warmth and craft from every angle.

Handcrafted texture and tone

Each Portuguese hand painted ceramic bowl is made individually by artisans in Caldas da Rainha. Layers of glaze are brushed over terracotta to achieve tonal depth and light reflections that mimic the surface of a real gourd. Tiny variations in hue and texture make each piece unique, capturing the spontaneity of true craftsmanship. The result is tactile terracotta serveware that feels as authentic as it looks.

Design and artistic philosophy

Designed by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, the Pumpkin collection celebrates the harmony between humor, nature, and design. The artist’s instinct for storytelling transforms a humble vegetable into an icon of Portuguese creativity. Within the collectible pumpkin collection, each piece reflects his signature blend of realism and imagination, inviting us to rediscover the beauty of everyday forms through artistry and wit.

Functional beauty for the modern table

The bowl is as practical as it is decorative. It’s suitable for the microwave and dishwasher but should not be placed in the oven or exposed to thermal shock. Its curved shape makes it ideal for soups, salads, or side dishes, while its refined glazing allows it to serve beautifully as décor. Versatile and enduring, this artistic salad bowl by Bordallo Pinheiro embodies the essence of timeless Portuguese design.
