Hand-painted in Portugal by the noted artisans at Outeiro Agueda, this "triple spout" vessel features a graceful fan-shaped silhouette designed to showcase individual petite floral stems.
​The piece is decorated in a traditional palette of cobalt blue and crisp white, featuring delicate botanical vines and the iconic Galo de Barcelos (Rooster of Barcelos)—the legendary symbol of faith and good fortune in Portuguese culture. The serrated "tulip" rims are finished in a rich manganese purple, adding a sophisticated depth to the scalloped edges.
