Couve Dessert Plate Set of Four - Green, Ceramic

The Couve dessert plate set features hand-painted ceramic pieces shaped and detailed to resemble wild cabbage leaves, finished in a deep verdant green. Each plate is crafted using traditional techniques in the original Bordallo Pinheiro workshop, where the design was first developed in the nineteenth century. The relief surface work captures the natural texture and structure of the leaf, giving each piece a tactile, organic quality. This set of four is designed to complement other items within the broader Couve collection.

Rustic Portuguese charm meets refined dining in this iconic ‘Couve’ tableware by Bordallo Pinheiro. Using traditional ceramic techniques, these verdant hand-painted pieces are made in the workshop where Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro first realized them in the nineteenth-century, playfully insisting that rustic Portuguese life be invited to dine with the bourgeoisie. Deliciously fun and dedicated to craftsmanship, these almost-edible wild cabbage creations never go out of fashion. The charming collection includes this set of four dessert plates, which can be completed with pieces from the rest of the ‘Couve’ family for a lush, leafy statement.
