The playful imagination of Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro finds new expression in the Bordallo Pinheiro Strawberry tureen, a piece that blurs the line between functional serveware and sculptural art. Known for transforming everyday forms into exuberant works of design, the artist captures the joyful essence of nature in every curve and glaze. Here, the humble strawberry becomes a symbol of abundance and delight, rendered with the humor, detail, and vitality that have defined his ceramics for over a century.
Where Craftsmanship Meets Character
Each artisanal ceramic tureen is shaped and hand painted by master artisans of Bordallo Pinheiro. Crafted in terracotta, it carries the warmth of Portuguese clay and the precision of human touch. The glaze’s depth and the fine sculpting of the seeds give the surface a lifelike quality, making every handmade ceramic bowl a singular creation. No molds of mass production can replicate the expressive individuality achieved through this manual artistry.
Vibrant Design with a Decorative Soul
Radiant and tactile, the fruit shaped soup tureen brings color and playfulness to the table. Its glossy red finish and organic contours evoke the freshness of a just-picked strawberry, turning mealtime into a sensory experience. As a decorative centerpiece, it captures light beautifully, commanding attention in both traditional and modern interiors. This is not only serveware, it’s a celebration of nature’s forms, translated into ceramic poetry.
Refined Functionality for Daily Use
While crafted with artistic care, the Bordallo Pinheiro Strawberry tureen is designed for practical use. It is suitable for microwave and dishwasher safe, offering modern convenience with timeless appeal. However, it should not be placed in the oven, as it is thermal shock non resistant. These thoughtful details preserve its integrity and brilliance, ensuring that it remains a cherished piece for years to come. Available in multiple sizes, it suits intimate settings as well as grand gatherings.
