Description
Set of three ceramic swallows
Ceramic swallows are an important symbol representing family, love and fidelity.
Bordallo Pinheiro popularised them at the end of the 19th century in the Portuguese popular imagination and even today they are still popular in our homes, decorating interiors, terraces and local shops.
At Casa Atlântica you can find them in sets of 3 units, one of each size, representing a family, in black for the more classic ones, or in beautiful colours that give that original touch we like so much.
Installation is very simple, just place a small nail at a 45 degree angle to the wall to prevent them from falling off, they can also be placed with pliers or similar.
How do we make it?:
This set is crafted in a workshop in northern Portugal led by António and Lúcia. Each piece is carefully hand-shaped, glazed in fresh colors, and kiln-fired at high temperatures. The swallows feature a rear hole for easy wall mounting.
