The Arabella Side Plate features a hand-painted green palm motif originating from Caldas da Rainha, with a gold-scaled trunk and fronds framed by two pink blooms at the rim. The white ground provides contrast that keeps the composition open, while the intimate scale of the palm suits smaller servingware. Each plate is crafted in a Portuguese atelier, carrying a design tradition rooted in Moorish Andalusian influence. Sold as a set of 4.
The gold-scaled trunk and green fronds of Caldas da Rainha's most well-travelled motif, on a side plate where two pink blooms hold the rim like bookends.. At this scale the palm becomes something more intimate — a courtyard glimpsed rather than entered. The white ground still breathes, the trunk still rises, and the two remaining blooms frame it with the quiet authority of a composition that knows exactly what it is doing.. JJ places this set of 4 Arabella Side Plate beside the dinner plate, or alone with cheese at the end of a long lunch.
