Bordallo Pinheiro’s cheese tray with mouse and lid is a quirky way to present wedges of gouda, Wensleydale and Camembert. The ornate earthenware tray features an intricate pattern, with a fun mouse and cheese figure sitting proudly on top of the lid. Place this green crockery in the centre of the table and let everyone tuck in to the cheese course.
Mix and match this cheese tray with other pieces from the Bordallo Pinheiro collection for a full Portuguese table spread.
About Bordallo Pinheiro
The Portuguese ceramics studio, Bordallo Pinheiro, was set up in 1884. Brothers Raphael and Feliciano Bordallo Pinheiro started the venture, and many of the pieces today are still made to Raphael’s designs. In only twenty-one years, Bordallo Pinheiro’s bold, artistic ceramics gained international recognition. Raphael took inspiration from the flora and fauna around his home town of Caldas, as well as drawing on ideas from the Renaissance and from the Art Nouveau & Naturalism movements.
