Vintage Bordallo Pinheiro Leaf Dish, Portuguese Majolica Serving Platter, Green Ceramic

Add a touch of rustic Portuguese charm to your home with this beautiful vintage double leaf serving dish by the iconic Bordallo Pinheiro. With its vibrant green glaze and naturalistic form, this piece is a classic example of Portuguese majolica ware, perfect for serving or display.

Features: This delightful dish is shaped as two overlapping leaves, joined by a wonderfully rustic, textured branch-style handle. The ceramic is finished in a rich, glossy green glaze with intricate veining details that capture the light beautifully. The base carries the engraved mark “Made in Portugal 463/D,” indicating its authentic origin.

Measurements (Approximate):

• Length: 22.5cm (8.9 inches)
• Width: 14cm (5.5 inches)

Condition: Good vintage condition. The dish shows a characterful patina consistent with its age and history. There are a few small, inconspicuous chips to the tips of the leaves and some fine crazing to the glaze, which is common in pieces of this era. There are also some light surface scratches from previous use. It remains a very beautiful and usable piece. Please view all photos as they form part of the description.
