Bowls.
For every
meal.
Named after the mountain ranges that define Portugal's interior — Serra da Estrela, Alvão, Monchique. Each glaze is a different peak, a different texture. Built wide and generous.

The mountain bowls
Dishwasher & microwave safe
Small production — each glaze firing is unique. Variations are the signature, not a flaw.
Serra
Snow on Portugal's highest peak
Dusty rose on the outside, a white luminous halo glowing inside — like looking down from the Serra da Estrela peak with snow below. For pasta, soup, or cereal you're pretending is fancy. The inner halo is unique to every single piece.
Portugal story
"Serra da Estrela is Portugal's highest mountain range and the only place in the country that reliably gets snow. In winter, the peak glows white. That's this bowl."
Dishwasher & microwave safe
Small production — each glaze firing is unique. Variations are the signature, not a flaw.
Alvão
Slate rock, repeated
Steel blue glaze with hand-carved vertical ribbing — the Alvão's rock faces translated into clay. Sharp, clean lines that feel as good as they look. Dishwasher safe, built for every day. The ribbing is hand-carved — no two identical.
Portugal story
"The Parque Natural do Alvão in Trás-os-Montes is defined by its dramatic vertical schist formations — dark rock faces, cold rivers, ancient villages."

Monchique
Warm Algarve, unhurried
Warm sandy tones with natural speckle and a generous gentle curve — the kind of bowl that quietly becomes your favourite without making a fuss about it. Works with everything in the kitchen. The one you reach for without thinking.
Portugal story
"Serra de Monchique sits quietly above the Algarve coast — ancient, wooded, warm year-round. The highest point in southern Portugal, and one of its most overlooked beauties."
