Geranium 13.11" Decorative Charger Plates - Set of 2 for Elegant Dinner Parties & Wedding Table Settings

The Portuguese ceramics studio, Bordallo Pinheiro, was set up in 1884. Brothers Raphael and Feliciano Bordallo Pinheiro started the venture, and many of the pieces today are still made to Raphael’s designs.

In only twenty-one years, Bordallo Pinheiro’s bold, artistic ceramics gained international recognition. Raphael took inspiration from the flora and fauna around his home town of Caldas, as well as drawing on ideas from the Renaissance and from the Art Nouveau & Naturalism movements.

Geranium is often considered the national flower of Portugal, as it is the most typical among the Portuguese flowers embellishing gardens and balconies all across the country. It was represented by Bordallo Pinheiro for its unmistakable foliage.
