The creative legacy of Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro lives on in the Bordallo Pinheiro Rua Nova salad bowl, a piece that redefines everyday elegance through craftsmanship and imagination. In his vision, the dining table becomes a gallery of forms, where each object blends functionality with poetic design. This bowl exemplifies that philosophy: sculptural yet practical, refined yet inviting, it embodies the essence of Portuguese artistry and timeless hospitality.

The Handcrafted Heart of Rua Nova

Meticulously shaped and hand painted by artisans in Caldas da Rainha, the Rua Nova bowl carries the warmth and authenticity of terracotta. Each brushstroke, each glaze layer is applied by hand, preserving the individuality of every piece. The tradition of hand painted complements makes this collection, the Rua Nova line, a true expression of the brand’s heritage, no two bowls are ever alike. The material’s natural texture enhances depth and color, turning this handmade ceramic salad bowl into an object of both beauty and purpose.

Harmony in Color and Form

Available in delicate shades of light blue, grey, and white, the Rua Nova salad bowl complements any interior style, from minimalist to classic. Its smooth contours and subtle glazing reflect light gracefully, creating a tranquil yet captivating presence at the table. The understated palette and balanced proportions invite calm and conviviality, embodying the quiet luxury that distinguishes Bordallo Pinheiro’s design language.

Functional Beauty, Designed to Last

Though artistic in form, this bowl is crafted for daily use. It is suitable for microwave and dishwasher safe, allowing effortless maintenance without losing its artisanal charm. However, it should not be used in the oven, as it is thermal shock non resistant, a gentle reminder of its handmade origin. Durable yet refined, it seamlessly merges practicality with aesthetic integrity.

A Centerpiece of Modern Conviviality

As part of Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro design, this luxury serving bowl transcends trends and seasons. It serves equally well as a vessel for generous salads or as a collectible ceramic bowl displayed as décor. Perfect for shared dining moments, its sculptural presence enhances the atmosphere of every occasion, embodying the harmony of nature, craftsmanship, and contemporary Portuguese elegance.
