Casa Alegre
Casa Alegre Pinguino Small Pitcher
Description
A charming addition to any kitchen or table, the Casa Alegre Pinguino Small Pitcher is crafted in Portugal by the same family of artisans behind Bordallo Pinheiro.
Casa Alegre draws on the relaxed, sun-warmed spirit of the Mediterranean south — and the Pinguino's clean lines and generous pour make it as practical as it is pretty.
Use it for milk at breakfast, cream at afternoon tea, or a small bunch of seasonal flowers on a windowsill. Available at Villarosa Maison in Nelson, one of New Zealand's few stockists of Portuguese ceramic art. Pairs beautifully with the Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage ware range.

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!
