Bordallo Pinheiro White Cabbage Charger Plate 30.5cm

Bordallo Pinheiro’s white cabbage charger plate is an elegant addition to every dinner table. Charger plates are traditionally used during fine dining as the base plate on which all other crockery is set on top of. With intricate details and a frilly edge, this delicate earthenware plate is too beautiful not to use! Serve savoury tarts and sharing-style salads on this cabbage-inspired crockery. 

In the 1960s, a full cabbage tableware set was the mark of a high-society household. Many pieces were highly collectible including Bordallo Pinheiro’s iconic cabbage range. Now these hand-painted earthenware plates, bowls and dishes are back and taking the world by storm. The hand-painted nature of Bordallo Pinheiro ceramics means that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Mix and match this white plate with other pieces from the Bordallo Pinheiro collection for a full Portuguese table spread.

Each plate measures 30.5cm.

About Bordallo Pinheiro

The Portuguese ceramics studio, Bordallo Pinheiro, was set up in 1884. Brothers Raphael and Feliciano Bordallo Pinheiro started the venture, and many of the pieces today are still made to Raphael’s designs. In only twenty-one years, Bordallo Pinheiro’s bold, artistic ceramics gained international recognition. Raphael took inspiration from the flora and fauna around his home town of Caldas, as well as drawing on ideas from the Renaissance and from the Art Nouveau & Naturalism movements.
