About us

Born from the passion of its founder for Portuguese ceramic art, Bordallo Pinheiro is today a worldwide love brand, chosen by a diverse audience which identifies with its unique profile.

Bordallo’s pieces are known for their bright colours, reliefs and naturalistic decorations, which make them unique and desired worldwide. These original features can only be obtained through highly skilled and experienced artisans, which have been gathering know-how over generations. Due to this meticulous hand work, from the modelling to the ornamentation, from the painting to the finish, each piece results unique.

The original factory was founded in 1884, combining the traditional arts of working ceramics with modern techniques and the unique vision of its creator, Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro. Thus, the first pieces were produced, like even today, full of creativity and sense of humour, marked by social conscience and the transgression of pre-conceived ideas.

The acquisition of the company by Grupo Visabeira in 2009 rescued this valuable heritage, ensuring the continuity of a company of outstanding artistic renown that is intertwined with the Portuguese national cultural. Using much of the century-old techniques to reproduce models, the factory continues to recover the rich and vast Bordallian legacy and, animated by the same pioneering spirit, creates contemporary products, reinforcing its partnership with renowned contemporary figures, such as Claudia Schiffer, VHILS, Estúdio Campana, Nini Andrade, Joana Vasconcelos, Paula Rego, Maria Lynch and Vik Muniz among others, carry on the spirit and work of Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, whether through reinterpretations of Bordallo Pinheiro work or whether through their own vision, inspired by the legacy that Raphael left behind.

Bordallo Pinheiro collections have been recognized with prestigious international design awards such as the German Design Awards, Iconic Awards and European Product Design Awards.

Currently, the brand has a significant international presence namely in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Sweden, United States and Japan.

The brand is also available online, acquiring more and more admirers worldwide.
