Description
A graceful Portuguese ceramic bowl by Conimbriga — hand-painted in the Coimbra tradition with a bird, floral sprays and scrolling foliage in rich cobalt blue.
Conimbriga is one of Portugal's respected ceramic studios, drawing on the centuries-old Coimbra pottery tradition known for its expressive hand-painted cobalt decoration. This scalloped oval bowl is decorated with a central bird motif surrounded by floral sprays and scrolling foliage within a shaped border, all rendered in a warm, slightly matte cobalt blue on a pale ground. The hand-painted finish gives each piece a gentle individuality that distinguishes it from factory transferware.
