Bring colour, charm, and heritage to your table with the Bordallo Cabbage Oil Bottle, a striking and functional piece crafted in Portugal by the renowned Bordallo Pinheiro workshop, exclusively for Van Verre. Standing tall at 31 cm, this ceramic oil bottle is far more than a kitchen essential, it’s a conversation starter, a piece of art, and a joyful nod to the beauty of everyday rituals.
The bottle’s sculptural cabbage leaf form is instantly recognisable as part of the beloved Bordallo Pinheiro collection, first created in 1884 by the celebrated Portuguese artist Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro. Inspired by the natural world, Pinheiro’s playful designs quickly earned cult status and became a staple of 19th-century Portuguese tableware.
The detailed ceramic work follows the original traditional moulds used over a century ago. Each piece is hand-glazed in Bordallo’s signature green, carefully applied to follow the contours and veins of the leaf for a richly textured finish. The result is a vibrant and expressive item that blends craftsmanship with whimsy, equally at home on a rustic farmhouse table or a contemporary kitchen counter.
While perfect for serving oils, dressings or vinegar, this versatile Bordallo Cabbage Oil Bottle is also a beautiful object in its own right. Add a single stem or a decorative blossom and it instantly becomes a unique ceramic vase. However you use it, it brings life, artistry, and a touch of joy to your space.
Pair it with matching cabbage plates, bowls, and Bloom collection pieces from Van Verre to create a coordinated, cheerful table for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a relaxed summer lunch or simply enhancing your daily meals, this piece adds warmth and flair.
