Bordallo Pinheiro Ceramic Handmade and Handpainted Geranium Leaf With Frog
The authentic ceramic swallows by Bordallo Pinheiro, painted one by one by hand in Portugal.
In 1896, the Portuguese artist Bordallo Pinheiro registered a patent for his swallows upon realizing the potential success they would have. Very soon, Bordallo's swallows began to decorate the houses of the Portuguese both inside and outside their borders, until reaching our days, already converted into an icon.
