Steeped in history, the cabbage leaf ceramics are a symbol of Portuguese creativity, naturalism and humour, as envisaged by original creator Bordallo 1884.
"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."
