The Cordelia side plates offer hand-painted decoration with a trailing vine of dark leaves and pale blue-green stems running the full rim, referencing the Mediterranean's long relationship with olive cultivation. Each plate is crafted from fine European earthenware in Caldas da Rainha, with the hand-applied motif giving each piece subtle variation. The earthenware body provides a solid, chip-resistant surface while the painted rim detail adds visual depth to the glaze.
