Bordallo Pinheiro Dragonfly Pot
Description
There is something almost magical about a dragonfly — fleeting, iridescent, impossibly graceful. The Bordallo Pinheiro Dragonfly Pot captures that magic in earthenware. Part of the beloved Garden of Insects collection, it is hand-painted in Portugal with the vivid colour and artisanal detail that has made Bordallo Pinheiro one of the world's most treasured ceramic houses. Whether used as a vase, a pot, or a sculptural accent, it brings a sense of wonder to any space it inhabits.
Pair it with the coordinating snail, ladybug, and bee pots for a collection that is as enchanting to display as it is to give. A gift for him, for her, for anyone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world.
A Villarosa Maison curated piece for those who find magic in the details.

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!
