Defined by soft tones and timeless simplicity, the Bordallo Pinheiro Rua Nova bowl embodies contemporary elegance with a touch of artisanal heritage. Available in delicate shades of white, grey, and light blue, it reflects the subtle sophistication of modern interiors while retaining the authenticity of hand-painted ceramics. Its refined design makes it an ideal companion for both everyday meals and sophisticated dining occasions, enhancing the table with understated charm and harmony.

Functionality with an Artistic Soul

Crafted to combine beauty and practicality, the Rua Nova bowl is suitable for microwave use and dishwasher safe, designed for effortless daily enjoyment. As with all hand painted complements, like plates and jugs, from the brand, it is made using traditional techniques that preserve the tactile feel and individuality of each piece. However, it is thermal shock non resistant and should not be used in the oven, a gentle reminder of the authenticity and craftsmanship that define true ceramic artistry.

Terracotta Craftsmanship and Portuguese Heritage

Each handmade ceramic bowl is shaped in terracotta, a material celebrated for its warmth and natural texture. Artisans at the Caldas da Rainha workshops carefully paint every detail by hand, creating subtle variations that make each Portuguese terracotta bowl unique. The glazing technique enhances the tactile richness of the surface, while the balanced form and smooth finish reveal the precision behind Bordallo Pinheiro’s century-old craftsmanship. This fusion of traditional skill and modern design sensibility defines the lasting appeal of the Rua Nova collection.

A Legacy of Design and Timeless Beauty

The Bordallo Pinheiro Rua Nova bowl represents more than a serving piece, it is a symbol of everyday elegance and artistic expression. Its minimalist palette and sculptural silhouette make it a versatile decorative serving bowl for contemporary homes. Designed by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, it captures the essence of functional art and the poetry of handmade objects. Ideal as luxury salad bowls or display accents, these collectible ceramic bowls remind us that beauty often lies in simplicity, authenticity, and quiet refinement.
