Bordallo Pinheiro’s fish series
|
|
|
Few pottery makers are as instantly recognisable as Bordallo Pinheiro, the Portuguese brand known for its distinctive, humorous designs – a long-time companion to ARKET. From the very beginning, we have offered a wide selection of their pieces to complement our own home and kitchen assortment.
|
|
|
Over the years, we’ve had the fortune to visit their factory in Caldas da Rainha, north of Lisbon, multiple times, and needless to say, experiencing the breadth of their artistry over more than a century – the company was founded in 1884 – is truly fascinating.
|
|
|
Animals and vegetables are recurring themes in their designs, and the beloved cabbage series holds a special place in many people’s hearts and cabinets. Another favourite from their vast production is the fish series.
|
|
|
In one of their old catalogues, we found a version of the fish series, that we very much like – a colourway no longer in production. We fell in love and knew that this was something we just had to bring back and share with you.
|
|
|
For now, this grey colourway is exclusive to ARKET.
|
|
|
Although Bordallo Pinheiro’s production has scaled up with time, many steps of the process remain handcrafted at the pottery factory. This fish series is a perfect example – with each piece is carefully painted by hand, preserving the artisanal quality of Bordallo Pinheiro’s heritage.
