This collection by Bordallo Pinheiro results from a collaboration between the earthenware factory of Caldas da Rainha, founded in 1884 by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, EGEAC (Lisbon’s cultural and animation municipal entity), and Lisbon’s city council. The original Bordallo Pinheiro’s Sardine, designed in the XIX century, due to its classic three-dimensional nature, became the ideal support for receiving the creative work that EGEAC develops since 2003, within Lisbon’s festivities, which transformed the sardine, iconic fish of Portuguese culture and gastronomy, an international icon of the city and of summer celebrations of the Portuguese capital.
This small fish also hanging on my wall for many days too. I can see it anytime and everyday. But if the fish can be made little bigger I think maybe better. Anyway this is my opinion.. Jianwei. Missoula, MT. Tue Mar 21 2023
