This refined piece exemplifies the celebrated faience tradition of northern Portugal, where skilled ceramicists have been producing exquisite hand-painted pottery since the 18th century, originally inspired by the precious Chinese porcelains that Portuguese merchants brought to Europe.

The classic blue-on-white palette and graceful cylindrical form showcase the confident brushwork and artistic individuality that distinguish authentic Viana do Castelo ceramics. Each piece from this renowned pottery center is rigorously hand-painted—never stamped or transferred—ensuring that no two are exactly alike. The artist's signature confirms its authenticity and artisanal provenance.

This versatile vase is perfect for displaying dried botanicals, fresh-cut flowers, or simply enjoyed as a sculptural accent. Place it on a mantel, bookshelf, or entryway console where its classic blue and white coloring can complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. A lovely addition to collections of Portuguese pottery, European folk art, or blue and white ceramics.
