Coimbra Ceramics - Hand Painted Carafe

Large Coimbra ceramic pitcher with an elegant silhouette rising from a generous body decorated with traditional floral patterns in the famous deep colors of Coimbra.

Every detail is hand-painted: arabesques, flowers and small motifs inspired by nature. The sculpted stopper extends the refinement of the piece and gives it an almost sculptural presence.

Placed on a table, a sideboard or a shelf, this pitcher naturally draws the eye. It can hold water or wine, or simply become a decorative object full of character. Like all Coimbra ceramics, it bears the mark of the artisan’s hand and no two pieces are exactly identical.

Why I love it

• Made in an authentic Coimbra ceramic workshop
• Piece signed by the artist at its base

Please note

Each piece is entirely hand-painted and signed by the artisan who created it. No design is reproduced exactly and no stencil or template is used. The motifs evolve freely from one piece to another depending on the painter’s inspiration, gesture and moment.

This freedom is what makes every piece unique and personal, giving the object a living character far removed from standardized production.

Coimbra ceramics date back to the 16th century and bring together workshops that traditionally use cobalt blue in monochrome tones as well as yellows, greens and ochres. This art form, characteristic of this northern Portuguese city, has been recognized around the world for several centuries.
