Be assured that this Azulejo is not a common industrially produced faience tile that is commonly found in souvenir shops.

This authentic clay tile features a hand-enamelled face and is crafted following traditional Portuguese Azulejo methods. The artistry of the hand-painted blues reflects the rich history of the Azulejos.

At the turn of the 17th century, "Figura Avulsa" azulejos emerged in Portugal and superseded the outmoded patterned azulejos. Boasting a cobalt blue shade inspired by Chinese porcelains imported from the Dutch and motifs taken from nature, plants, animals, and human visages, these tiles have a unique flair.

This Azulejo is part of a collection of handcrafted and hand-painted Azulejos that you must discover.
