Bordallo Pinheiro
Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Charger Plate 30.5cm | NZ
Description
The charger plate is the piece that transforms a table. At 30.5cm across, the Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Charger is generous, sculptural, and unmistakably Portuguese — each one hand-painted in Caldas da Rainha using techniques that haven't changed since Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro founded his factory in 1884.
Use it as a base plate for a formal dinner, a serving plate for cheese and charcuterie, or simply display it on a plate rack or dresser where it can do what it does best — stop people in their tracks. The layered green glaze catches the light differently depending on the angle, and the leaf detail is crisp enough that you notice something new every time you look at it.
Available in New Zealand exclusively through a handful of stockists. At Villarosa Maison in Nelson we've carried Bordallo Pinheiro for years and we know this charger plate is one of the pieces customers come back for — often to buy a second.
Hand-painted earthenware. Made in Portugal. Diameter: 30.5cm. Dishwasher safe.

Bordallo Pinheiro
The cabbage, fleshy and wrinkled, flattened in shape, could serve as a metaphor for the rusticity of Portugal, a country Bordallo satirized so often. It was a clever way of paying homage to it, placing it at the center of bourgeois tables, where, otherwise, it would not have been invited. And today, our cabbage is an essential element on any table and in any setting, admired by young and old alike, blooming in various colors: Green, White, and Pink!
