Cabbage, in its rough and flat form, could be used as a metaphor for Portugal’s rustic ways, which Bordallo had so many times caricatured. This was a clever way to honour it, placing it on the bourgeois’ tables, where other way it had not been invited.
I saw a lot of Pinheiro pottery in Portugal. I loved them. I saw this piece at n the airport in Lisbon. When I got home, I found the cabbage pot at perigold. I ordered it and it came one week later in perfect condition. Thank you, Perigold!. Geraldine. Walker, MI. Thu Oct 09 2025
