Bordallo Pinheiro Watermelon Salad Bowl 28cm

The Bordallo Pinheiro watermelon salad bowl turns salads and pasta dishes into striking centrepieces. For a themed dish, use to serve a vibrant fruit salad.

The watermelon collection is a new addition to Bordallo Pinheiro’s famous range of fruit and vegetable-themed tableware. Each piece is hand-painted, so no two are exactly alike.

The Portuguese ceramics studio, Bordallo Pinheiro, was set up in 1884. Brothers Raphael and Feliciano Bordallo Pinheiro started the venture, and many of the pieces today are still made to Raphael’s designs. In only twenty-one years, Bordallo Pinheiro’s bold, artistic ceramics gained international recognition. Raphael took inspiration from the flora and fauna around his home town of Caldas, as well as drawing on ideas from the Renaissance and from the Art Nouveau & Naturalism movements.
