Bordallo Pinheiro Holly Plates

While these are vintage ceramic pieces, they are fully functional dinnerware. However, because of their age and the delicate nature of the embossed detailing, we recommend hand washing them to preserve the glaze and the raised holly design.

These plates measure 9 inches in diameter, making them ideal for salad courses, appetizers, or smaller dessert portions rather than full-sized dinner entrees.

As vintage pieces, these plates may show minor signs of wear consistent with their age, such as slight variations in the glaze or faint crazing. We curate these sets to ensure they remain in excellent display and serving condition, but they will naturally possess more character than brand-new, mass-produced ceramics.

We strongly advise against using these vintage ceramic plates in the microwave or dishwasher. The high heat and abrasive detergents can damage the vintage glaze and potentially weaken the embossed detailing over time.

Yes, this set includes two matching plates featuring the same embossed holly and berry pattern, consistent with Bordallo Pinheiro's traditional craftsmanship from that era.
