Versatile and decorative, it adapts seamlessly from daily use to festive occasions, bringing freshness and elegance to every table.

Design heritage & artistry

Created by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, the bowl embodies his imaginative spirit and deep connection to the natural world. The relief of flowers and petals reflects the designer’s ability to turn ceramics into works of art that also serve daily life. Within the category of bowls and salad bowls, this piece distinguishes itself with symbolic imagery and timeless appeal, capturing the brand’s philosophy of uniting beauty, humor, and refinement.

Craftsmanship & materials

Every Flora ceramic bowl is hand-shaped in terracotta and finished by artisans, who carefully emphasize the detailing of the floral decoration. The glossy glaze not only enriches the colors but also protects the surface, ensuring durability. Slight variations in texture and tone underline its handmade origin, making each bowl a unique collectible item. Offered in a spectrum of hues, it allows for personal expression at the table, whether through tonal harmony or bold contrast.

Practical features

True to the brand’s ethos, the bowl is made to be used with the cups and plates from the Flora collection or to be admired alone. It is suitable for microwave and dishwasher safe, though it must not be placed in the oven and should be kept away from sudden temperature changes, as it is non resistant to thermal shock. Safe for alimentary use, it offers reliability alongside beauty, ensuring that hosting and serving remain effortless.

Defined as sculptural Bordallo Pinheiro bowls, a fusion of beauty, function, and refinement, the Flora line expresses the best of Portuguese ceramic tradition. The Bordallo Pinheiro Flora bowl is a versatile, decorative piece that elevates every meal into an act of style and storytelling.
