There is something quietly theatrical about the artichoke — its layered leaves, its architectural form. Bordallo Pinheiro has long understood this, and in their signature grey glaze, this platter becomes less tableware and more still life.

Generous in scale at 31.5 × 27 × 3cm, it holds a cheese board, a slow Sunday lunch, or a single beautiful loaf with equal grace. Made in Portugal from earthenware with the hand-finished detail that has defined the Bordallo atelier since 1884.

A piece that earns its place on the table — and keeps it.
