Bordallo Pinheiro 

Cineraria Leaf with Blue Bird

The Cineraria Leaf with Blue Bird from Bordallo Pinheiro is a celebration of nature’s whimsy and beauty, translated into fine Portuguese earthenware. Shaped like a vibrant green cineraria leaf, the piece is brought to life with delicate veining and a glossy glaze that highlights its naturalistic form. Resting gently on the edge is a yellow-breasted blue songbird, a cheerful detail that evokes the serenity of a garden and adds a touch of playful color to the design.

Handcrafted in Portugal, this piece reflects the brand’s long-standing tradition of turning everyday objects into functional works of art. It is light in weight yet sturdy, making it versatile for both serving and display. The dish is perfectly sized to hold nuts, candies, or chocolates when entertaining, while also serving as a decorative catchall for keys, jewelry, or small keepsakes. Its charming design makes it equally at home on a dining table, sideboard, or bedside table, offering a delightful balance of artistry and practicality.

The Cineraria Leaf with Blue Bird stands as a collectible accent on its own or as part of a larger arrangement of Bordallo Pinheiro’s nature-inspired ceramics. Dishwasher and microwave safe, it combines modern convenience with timeless craftsmanship, ensuring it remains a cherished piece for years to come.
