Bordallo Pinheiro
“A Galinha Choca da Economia” (the broody hen of economics) was the cover of the magazine “A Paródia” in 1900, where Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro expressed his discontent towards the political life of the country and decided to caricature the different aspects of Portugal’s social and economic reality at that time. Or is it nowadays?
The Sardine 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.
Winner of the acclaimed Lisbon contest “Chintz Dress" (being the only candidate in the contest), the graceful, garish Lisboeta sardine features a model inspired in the '50s, in Pombaline chintz, set off by an English embroidery ribbon. And as the Fado says: “There goes fancy/every day more beautiful/ And her chintz dress/ Always has a Sunday look”. Reminds us of Raquel Tavares, doesn't it?

This Sardine mounted masts and sails and decided to go even further and with more steam, like the Portuguese ship “Sagres”! The sea is her vocation, but the house that welcomes her is her destiny.
