Loiça | Tableware

Talking about tableware has its wonders. It is to look at the shapes, the carvings in relief,

the decorative subjects (flowers, the fancy figures, the country styled sceneries) and the colours - the artistic side. It is to remember those people and generations who seated around a family table and shared a meal together - the social side. It is to look for the origins, the marks and the dates, and also the commercial routes - the historical side.

Tableware and its decoration

Falar de loiça tem o seu encanto. É olhar para as formas, os relevos, os motivos decorativos (flores, figuras, cenários campestres estilizados) e as cores – o lado artístico. É lembrar-se das pessoas e gerações que se sentaram à volta de uma mesa familiar e partilharam uma refeição – o lado social. É procurar as origens, as marcas e as datas, e ainda as rotas comerciais – o lado histórico.
