Pomum

Inspired by the apple tree and its fruit, this bowl displays the colors and manual painting of Bordallo Pinheiro faience, as well as the decorated porcelain and engraved glass from Vista Alegre. Awakening our collective imagination, it symbolizes life, love, knowledge, seduction and desire. It is a piece that, despite being utilitarian, stands out for its strong decorative, differentiating and enigmatic character.

Bio Founded in 1824, the Vista Alegre Porcelain Factory was the first industrial unit dedicated to producing porcelain in Portugal.
The factory started by producing glassware and soapstone pottery, since the composition of porcelain clay was still unknown. In 1880, Vista Alegre ceased its glassware production to focus exclusively on porcelain.
Nowadays, Vista Alegre is more than an industrial unit. It is also part of the Portuguese heritage, boasting buildings of undeniable architectural interest, and a repository of social and artistic memories essential to the building of a Portuguese identity.
