Description

Bordallo Pinheiro's Flora tableware collection celebrates the colours and shapes of a country garden. Evocative of poppies, marigolds, wild roses and more, these earthenware pieces are made in Portugal using traditional techniques and the brand's famous glazes. This cereal or serving bowl is microwave and dishwasher safe for everyday use. From cabbage leaf serving dishes to bowls shaped like flowers or plates like strawberries, Bordallo Pinheiro's nature-inspired ceramics are a feast for the senses. Still produced in the same factory in Caldas da Rainha in Portugal, where artist Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro first designed them back in the 1800s, these leafy beauties never date.

StonewareFired at high temperatures, stoneware is very tough and heat-resistant. It comes in a number of different glaze finishes. PorcelainAffordable yet luxurious, porcelain is renowned for its translucency. Fired at high temperatures, porcelain has an extremely tough glazed surface, making it durable. Fine china The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china. Like bone china, it's strong, translucent and delicate, and creamier in colour. New bone china A type of porcelain with added calcium oxide to achieve a similar aesthetic as bone china, but without animal bone ash. Bone china White bone china is the strongest and most translucent ceramic. Though it looks delicate, it's tough enough for daily use and is usually dishwasher-safe. It contains at least 35% bone ash.
