When dessert arrives, light becomes part of the presentation. The Bordallo Pinheiro Cloudy Butterflies dessert plate captures it gently, soft reflections rippling across its surface like air in motion. At 30x30 cm, it offers ample space for creativity, turning each slice, mousse, or fruit composition into a small work of art. The shape feels modern yet timeless, balancing geometry and softness in perfect proportion.

Function and proportion

This Portuguese hand painted plate is not only beautiful but practical. It’s suitable for the microwave and dishwasher, though not for the oven or sudden temperature changes. The wide rim provides definition for plating, framing desserts with grace while keeping textures and sauces contained. Balanced weight ensures ease of handling, proof that elegance and function can coexist effortlessly in artistic terracotta dish design.

Design and poetic vision

Designed by Claudia Schiffer, the Cloudy Butterflies collection reflects her fascination with transformation, symmetry, and the natural world. The butterfly motif, delicately embossed and glazed, evokes freedom and subtle movement, reminding us of fleeting beauty preserved in clay. The tone is serene, the detailing light, and the impression lasting: this is Claudia Schiffer ceramic design that speaks softly yet with distinction.

Craftsmanship and authenticity

Each plate is molded and finished by hand in Portugal, where artisans continue a long lineage of Bordallo Pinheiro excellence. The terracotta base gives warmth and density, while the glaze adds luster and variation. The butterfly motif tableware process ensures that every piece carries its own micro-differences in hue and relief, subtle signs of authenticity that mark the human hand behind every curve and contour.
