Founded in 1884 in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, Bordalo Pinheiro Ceramics Factory continues the legacy of Raphel Bordalo Pinheiro, a pioneering ceramist who was ahead of his time. Pinheiro's vision seamlessly combined industrial production with the artistic essence of Portuguese craft and became known for a unique blend of creativity, naturalism and humor. He focused primarily on the technique of making faience pottery, which is tin-glazed and enameled therefore having a distinctly decorative appearance. A Vida Portuguesa, a small Lisbon-based, women-owned shop, carries new pieces from the factory that are made using Bordalo Pinheiro's original molds. This eye-catching green Ceramic Owl Pitcher is incredibly detailed, right down to the last feather. Use it to enhance your daily water intake or delight guests when they come over for dinner. The A Vida Portuguesa Ceramic Owl Pitcher measures 9.25h x 4.75w x 6.3"d and holds 44oz.
