Know before you buy
This piece is crafted from earthenware, a traditional ceramic material known for its durability and ability to hold intricate, sculptural details.
The centerpiece measures approximately 17.72 inches in length, 18.82 inches in width, and 5.98 inches in height, making it a substantial focal point for a dining or console table.
While it is designed as a decorative centerpiece, it is food-safe and can be used to display fruits or other dry goods. Due to its sculptural shape, it is best suited for items that do not require a flat, level surface.
To preserve the finish and intricate details, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting the piece in the dishwasher, as earthenware can be prone to chipping if handled roughly.
Every piece in this collection is produced in Portugal, maintaining the long-standing heritage and craftsmanship associated with the Bordallo Pinheiro brand.
