It was manufactured and hand-painted using a white thin-glazed technique called faience in Coimbra, Portugal. This intricately designed collection is rendered as a tribute to the decorative language of a defining era, with Middle Eastern and Roman influences.

The composition features a vibrant and richly detailed design, brought to life through a palette of blues, greens, browns, oranges, and yellows. Majestic animals, such as deer and a mythological griffin, are framed by intricate floral and geometric motifs, creating depth, warmth, and movement.

Each fruit bowl is unique, with subtle variations in line, form, and color. Signed by the artist, Reinaldo, it reflects authenticity and craftsmanship. Both decorative and functional, it is microwave and dishwasher safe, making it ideal as a centerpiece or for elegant everyday use.

*This hexagonal bowl measures 11 inches in diameter from tip to tip (at its widest points), 9.1 inches across from side to side, depth of 2.5 inches and an overall height of 3.2 inches.* See less
