Bring the beauty of the winter garden to your table with the Bordallo Pinheiro Holly Salad Bowl, a wonderfully decorative piece of Portuguese ceramic tableware.
Inspired by the distinctive shape and texture of holly leaves, this generously proportioned bowl features beautifully sculpted foliage finished in a rich, glossy green glaze. The intricate veining and overlapping leaves create a striking three-dimensional design that captures the natural beauty of this traditional festive plant.
Measuring an impressive 35.5 cm in diameter, the Holly Salad Bowl is perfect for serving generous salads, roasted vegetables, seasonal fruit or festive dishes. Its sculptural design also makes it a beautiful centrepiece, whether filled with seasonal decorations or simply displayed on its own.
