A delightful example of 19th century Portuguese folk pottery, this hand-thrown red slipware bowl showcases the rustic charm and vibrant artistry of rural Portugal. Crafted from terracotta and finished with a glossy red slip glaze, the bowl features a whimsical incised fish design at its center, surrounded by dotted spiral motifs and a ruffled rim that’s been carefully hand-pinched for decorative effect. Small lugs with pierced holes allow for hanging, indicating it was likely both a utilitarian and ornamental piece. Red slipware pieces like this were a common type of pottery in Portugal during the 19th century, and it was often decorated with simple, folk-art designs.

 

Typically decorated with simple, folk art designs, this type of red slipware was a common type of pottery in Portugal during the 19th century. Known for its earthy tones and lively sgraffito patterns, it was commonly produced in the Alentejo and Estremadura regions, where local potters passed down decorative techniques from generation to generation. Functional yet artful, bowls like this were used in kitchens for preparing or serving food, while also adding beauty to the home. A beautiful example of Iberian ceramic tradition, rich in patina and character, that brings warmth and authenticity to any rustic interior or pottery collection.
