About Bordallo Pinheiro
Bordallo Pinheiro is a long-established Portuguese ceramics brand, founded in 1884 by the artist Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro in Caldas da Rainha. It is renowned for its artistic ceramics, distinguished by nature-inspired designs - such as leaves, fruits or animals. Bordallo Pinheiro brings together creativity, craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
To this day, many pieces are meticulously crafted by hand, combining traditional techniques with modern influences.
Ceramic product made of kaolin, quartz, and feldspar.
Porcelain is formed by turning or pressing, and figurative objects are cast. Complex objects have to be cast in separated steps and sections, and then "assembled". After the moulding, the pieces are dried and undergo an initial firing at about 900°C. Next, the glaze will be applied and fired at temperatures between 1,240 °C and 1,445 °C. In renowned manufactories, the porcelain is painted by hand, with each colour being fired individually under strict temperature tolerances.
Porcelain was invented in China and became widespread in Europe from the 16th century onwards. The first European porcelain factory was founded in Meissen, Germany in 1710.
Other famous European porcelain factories include Fürstenberg, Höchst, Schwarzburger Werkstätten, Lladró, Nymphenburg, KPM, Augarten, Sèvres, Limoges, Royal Copenhagen, Worcester. Each factories label their products with their personal porcelain stamps to indicate their origin.
