Handmade Hand Painted Tile Bacalhoa I

Hand painted tile, Bacalhoa I pattern (white, green, blue and yellow colours). These tiles are produced in central Portugal in a totally handmade way, by a family run production unit which has been preserving the Portuguese tile tradition for almost 300 years. The outcome are lush artistic pieces, with soft, shiny and slightly undulated surfaces, where each tile is unique. The whole procedure is made by hand, shaped by artists with decades of experience, from the shaping of the clay to the careful paintings in each tile. Each handmade and hand painted Bacalhoa I tile has variations in its brush strokes, in the patterns and in the glaze tones. They have a slightly undulated surface and uneven edges which, together with slight flaws, make each piece exclusive.
