Cabbage Gravy/Sauce Boat
Crafted using traditional methods and painted by hand, this earthenware sauce boat boasts a rich green cabbage leaf design with a sophisticated gloss finish, offering you quality and character in abundance. The curved edges and level of detail bring this vegetable to life, a common form that could be seen as a metaphor for Portugal’s rustic ways, which Bordallo had so many times caricatured.

The artist Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro was one of the most influential figures in nineteenth century Portugal, respected for his satirical commentary and artistic creation. Since the establishment of his factory in 1884, the bold (either in size or delicacy of detail) ceramics have gained a reputation for artistic quality, quirky exuberance, and technical merit.
