Colors of Elegance and a Designer’s Legacy

Available in soft shades of light blue, grey, and white, the Rua Nova line captures the serenity of Portuguese design.

Behind its timeless beauty stands Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, a visionary who redefined decorative ceramics through form, humor, and craftsmanship. His creative signature infuses each piece of luxury tableware with personality and charm, making this plate a contemporary heirloom in the art of dining.

Handcrafted Terracotta Excellence

Each Portuguese artisanal plate is shaped in fine terracotta and hand painted by skilled artisans in Caldas da Rainha. The texture of the clay enhances the color depth and gives the plate its tactile, authentic feel. Subtle brushstrokes reveal the maker’s touch, ensuring that every collectible handmade plate is unique. The craftsmanship not only elevates its visual appeal but also conveys the philosophy that beauty resides in the union of tradition and artistry.

Functional Beauty for Everyday Use

Designed for versatility, the Bordallo Pinheiro Rua Nova charger plate is suitable for microwave use and dishwasher safe, allowing practicality to coexist with elegance. However, it is thermal shock non resistant and should not be placed in the oven, preserving the integrity of its fine glaze. The thoughtful combination of design and function makes it ideal for both hospitality settings and private homes, where every detail matters. It’s not merely a plate, it’s an invitation to celebrate dining as an art form especially if paired with bowls and jugs of Bordallo Pinheiro.
