The Story Behind the Cabbage:
Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, one of Portugal's most influential 19th-century artists, cleverly transformed the humble cabbage into an object of bourgeois desire. By placing it on elegant tables where it otherwise wouldn't be invited, he created an enduring icon that honors Portuguese culture with wit and artistry.
Since 1884, Bordallo Pinheiro has remained faithful to tradition through ancestral manufacture techniques and the naturalistic motifs at the root of the brand.
