Our Lírio Floral Ceramic Dinner Plate is a hand-painted Portuguese ceramic piece that will enliven any table setting throughout any season of the year. This versatile design boasts an elegant pattern, featuring a timeless blue border trim and delicate blue flowers paired with green stems and leaves.
All of our ceramic pieces are crafted by hand and painted by expert artisans using traditional techniques in southern Portugal.
The use of red clay earthenware pottery has been a hallmark of the region since the days of the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors who traded along the coast. This material is prized for its durability and practicality, possessing a weighty robustness that is distinctive to the touch.
The shapes used in our pottery are often passed down from generation to generation, thus reflecting common motifs found in museum artifacts throughout the Mediterranean.
Each piece is hand glazed and fired in kilns at temperatures above 1000º Celsius, making them food safe and enhancing their lustrous finish.
We decorate our ceramics using the Majolica technique, a unique over glaze painting method that requires fluid and confident brushwork, similar to frescoes. This technique gives each piece its own unique character and personality, as evidenced by the signature of the artist. In fact, a well-trained eye can even identify the artist based solely on their brushwork.
