Bordallo Pinheiro®

Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro is celebrated as one of Portugal’s most influential cultural figures of the 19th century, renowned for his wit, artistry, and inventive spirit. In 1884, he founded the Fábrica de Faianças das Caldas da Rainha, infusing every creation with passion, creativity, and a touch of humor that became his signature. More than a factory, it was a canvas for his imagination—producing ceramics that were as expressive as they were functional.

Today, the Bordallo Pinheiro name continues to honor that legacy, blending time-honored, handcrafted techniques with modern innovation. Each piece reflects over a century of artistry, bringing beauty, character, and a sense of history to both the everyday table and the world of contemporary design.
