The Melancia cake stand celebrates the natural form of watermelons through hand-applied colour and detailed earthenware craftsmanship. Its surface replicates the textural irregularities of fruit pulp, with green and vibrant pink tones blended across the piece. Melon seed details are rendered through careful manual colouring, adding depth and authenticity to the finish.
Bordallo Pinheiro's enthusiasm for nature's bounty comes to the fore in the Portuguese brand's 'Melancia' series, a collection of items that celebrate the colorful and juicy nature of watermelons. Combining fresh tones of green and vibrant pink, this earthenware cake stand additionally replicates the irregularities of the texture of the fruit's pulp, as well as the distinct nature of melon seeds, thanks to the painstaking application of color to the item by hand.
