Designed to bring refinement and function to the table, the Bordallo Pinheiro Fish dinner plate turns every meal into an elegant ritual. Ideal for both everyday dining and special occasions, it is suitable for microwave use and dishwasher safe, combining aesthetic pleasure with practical ease. Crafted in terracotta, this plate maintains the warmth of natural clay while offering the resilience required for daily use. However, as it is thermal shock non resistant and not oven safe, it deserves the same care and respect that one would grant to a handcrafted work of art.

Marine Inspiration Reimagined

The design of the fish motif ceramic plate draws directly from the ocean’s fluid grace. Scales, fins, and textures merge in a symphony of movement, echoing the vibrancy of marine life. This line reflects the designer’s fascination with nature’s geometry and the play of light on water. The marine inspired tableware concept recalls the historic connection between Portuguese coastal culture and artisanal ceramics, turning the dining table into a poetic seascape where tradition meets modern creativity thanks to modern plates, scultural bowls and playful jugs.

The Craftsmanship of Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro

At the heart of every hand painted fish plate lies the artistry of Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, a visionary who transformed ceramics into a medium of expression. Each piece is meticulously shaped and painted by hand in the Caldas da Rainha workshops, where centuries-old expertise meets contemporary artistry. Layers of color and glaze are applied with care, creating subtle tonal variations that make every designer ceramic plate unique. The surface texture, evocative of water and motion, captures the essence of natural beauty through craftsmanship and precision.
