Bordallo Pinheiro Leaves Medlar Leaf with Snail
Description
There is a quiet poetry to the Portuguese countryside, and Bordallo Pinheiro has always known how to capture it. This 25cm medlar leaf dish from the Countryside Leaves collection is a perfect expression of that artistry — the long, textured leaf rendered in extraordinary naturalist detail, with a charming snail nestled at its edge as though it simply wandered in from the garden. Handcrafted in Portugal from earthenware, it works beautifully as a serving dish, a decorative accent, or a gift for someone who appreciates the beauty of the handmade.
A Villarosa Maison curated piece for those who find the natural world endlessly inspiring.

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!
