Information
A superb pair of Portuguese majolica begonia leaf dishes reflecting the Victorian love of foliage plants. Produced by Manuel Gustavo Bordalo Pinheiro (1867-1920), the second generation of this famous majolica factory based in Caldas. Rare to find and nicely painted with strong coloured glazes in deep pink, yellow ochre and green; lovely pieces in great condition. No chips, cracks or restoration (one has a slight glaze frit to the pink edge but nothing serious - see image 4). Both with printed backstamps 'Bordalo Pinheiro, Caldas da Rainha, Made in Portugal'.
