Applause without noise, that’s what happens when dessert arrives on the Bordallo Pinheiro Cloudy Butterflies cake stand. The table breathes, guests lean in, and sweetness is framed with poise. Like a small stage, the raised surface lends height and ceremony to pastries, tarts, or fruit compositions, turning the finale of a meal into a scene of quiet theatre made for lingering conversation.

Hand and earth, working in harmony

Before it elevates your dessert, it begins as clay. Portuguese artisans model, refine, and glaze the piece so the butterflies’ relief appears to drift across the surface. The warmth of terracotta gives depth; hand-applied layers lend subtle tonal shifts that catch the light. These crafted nuances remind you that no two stands are quite the same, a signature of Bordallo Pinheiro’s enduring studio tradition and a tactile pleasure for design-minded hosts.

Function first, then flourish

Poetry is lovely, but service must be easy. This hand painted ceramic stand is suitable for the microwave and dishwasher; it must not go in the oven and should be protected from sudden temperature changes. The plate’s gentle lip helps keep glazes and crumbs in place, while the pedestal’s balanced footprint ensures stability when slicing. Within table accessories, it stands out as refined Portuguese terracotta serveware that performs beautifully from prep to presentation, made for everyday ritual as much as for special celebrations.

Design that breathes light

Conceived with Claudia Schiffer, the Cloudy Butterflies motif captures movement, wings suspended in soft, cloud-tinted glaze. The composition reads airy rather than ornate, so desserts remain the protagonists while the stand provides rhythm and glow. It’s unmistakably a Claudia Schiffer design, yet fluent in the playful elegance of the brand: a sculptural accent that complements minimal tablescapes as effortlessly as layered, eclectic settings.
