The Couve dinner plate set combines hand-painted craftsmanship with a distinctive wild cabbage leaf design, rendered in verdant green ceramic. Each piece is produced using traditional techniques in the original Bordallo Pinheiro workshop, where the design was first created in the nineteenth century. The ceramic construction features detailed surface relief work that captures the texture and veining of natural cabbage leaves. This set of four coordinates with other pieces from the wider 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 dinner plates, which can be completed with pieces from the rest of the ‘Couve’ family for a lush, leafy statement.
