Bordallo Medium Cabbage Bowl 22.5 cm Ø
Add a touch of timeless beauty to your table with the Bordallo Medium Cabbage Bowl 22.5 cm Ø, handcrafted in the renowned Bordallo Pinheiro ceramics workshop in Portugal, exclusively for Van Verre. Measuring 22.5 cm in diameter, this medium-sized bowl is ideal for serving fresh salads, seasonal vegetables, generous side dishes, or even light main courses. It’s the perfect combination of artistry and practicality, bringing both elegance and personality to everyday meals.
The cabbage leaf design that adorns this bowl is nothing short of iconic. First introduced in 1884 by celebrated Portuguese artist and ceramicist Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro, the cabbage collection quickly became a symbol of creative craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Inspired by the humble beauty of the cabbage leaf and rural life in Portugal, Bordallo transformed everyday items into sculptural pieces that have stood the test of time. Over a century later, the same traditional moulds and time-honoured techniques are still used to make each piece.
Each bowl is individually cast and hand-glazed, with every intricate vein of the leaf carefully highlighted to showcase the remarkable attention to detail. The result is a highly textured, richly coloured piece that feels as lovely to hold as it looks on the table.
Whether you choose a classic green or one of the more contemporary colours offered in the collection, the Bordallo Medium Cabbage Bowl 22.5 cm Ø brings a joyful burst of creativity and history to your home. Its generous size and shallow depth make it especially well-suited to serving shared dishes or displaying fruit and baked goods when not in use. Dishwasher safe and crafted to last, it is both decorative and functional - a delightful choice for relaxed meals and special occasions alike.
