During my stroll in 7th arrondissement last week, where I discovered the Doors of the Month, that I posted on Monday, I found another delightful discovery.
Bordallo Pinheiro is a delightful boutique with the most colorful and amusing ceramics. It’s like walking in the Garden of Eve, only everything is ceramic. Cabbages, cantaloupes, watermelons, lemons, strawberries, tomatoes, pumpkins, coconuts, and pineapples are magically transformed into serving pieces, bowls, plates, mugs, pitchers, soup tureens, plates, hanging lamps, and trays. Birds, animals, and butterflies are also part of the collection. The effect is whimsical and very tempting.
Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro (21 March 1846 – 23 January 1905), was originally an artist known for his drawings, illustrations, and caricatures, and in 1885, opened a ceramics factory in Portugal, and the factory today still produces their products. Supermodel form the 1990s, Claudia Schiffer, has designed a collection for Bordallo Pinheiro.
