Don't be mistaken, this Azulejo is not a simple industrial printed earthenware tile that you find in souvenir stores. This object is a real clay tile, glazed on one of its sides and entirely hand-painted by reproducing the ancient gestures.
The azulejos "Padrão" appeared in Portugal in the early 17th century and are characterized by their geometric or plant motifs. The motifs are arranged in such a way that the juxtaposition of several tiles allows to obtain a panel with a larger pattern. Their colors evolved from blue and yellow on white at the beginning of the 17th century to a predominance of dark blue and turquoise blue towards the end of the century.
Portuguese Gifts
I was elated to find this website after the most incredible trip to Portugal. I did some shopping while there but not enough. I love to travel but I was in heaven while there as I love ceramics. Every thing about it was magical. I will be shopping with again as your prices are reasonable, the packing and shipping to Hawaii was perfection and I can't get enough of beautiful art from your amazing country. Many thanks! Obrigado and Aloha!!
