Description
Set of Two Sponged Ceramic Cups with Saucers
Our new Esponjado collection is inspired by various ceramic trays we found in antique markets along the northern coast of Portugal, which served as the starting point for creating this unique series. Are you ready to discover it?
In our new cups, bowls, and trays, we revive the old popular sponging technique, traditionally used in this coastal region, where sea sponges were the magical tool for creating patterns on everyday ceramics.
The large-sized bowls with saucers, or the trays and bowls decorated with the traditional triangles or “bicos” along their edges, are perfect for pairing with plain tableware. Made from highly resistant porcelain stoneware, this collection reflects the spirit of the 1950s and the quality materials that were once used. A tribute to folk art, folklore, the anonymous pieces we have collected over the years, and the creativity of the artisans who once made them.
The cups and saucers are hand-molded from stoneware and decorated with exclusive hand-painted designs. The high-temperature firing process ensures strength and durability.
