Cabbage Olive Dish, 8.5″ by Bordallo Pinheiro

Cabbage Olive Dish by Bordallo Pinheiro

Cabbage, in its rough and flat form, could be used as a metaphor for Portugals rustic ways, which Bordallo had so many times caricatured. This was a clever way to honor it, placing it on the bourgeois tables, where other way it had not been invited.

Dimensions: 8.5″ x 2.5″
