Description
Add a touch of rural whimsy to your kitchen with the round tomato butter dish. The leaf-shaped base has a dish for the butter, and the giant tomato is the lid!
The earthenware butter dish from the highly collectible Portuguese ceramics studio, Bordallo Pinheiro. It is hand-painted to resemble a realistic tomato and leaf.
The Portuguese ceramics studio, Bordallo Pinheiro, was set up in 1884. Brothers Raphael and Feliciano Bordallo Pinheiro started the venture, and many of the pieces today are still made to Raphael\’s designs. In only twenty-one years, Bordallo Pinheiro\’s bold, artistic ceramics gained international recognition. Raphael took inspiration from the flora and fauna around his home town of Caldas, as well as drawing on ideas from the Renaissance and from the Art Nouveau & Naturalism movements.
