This charming hand-painted terracotta bowl from Portugal features cream-colored flowers set against a deep blue background with a scalloped rim. The signature on the base reads “Olaria Armil Cau Fiáhlo S. Po Co Ryal Portugal,” suggesting it was crafted by a regional artisan pottery studio.
With a 6-inch diameter and 2-inch height, it's perfect for use as a decorative accent piece, a small fruit or snack bowl, or as part of a rustic Mediterranean-style kitchen. The traditional floral motifs and bold colors evoke the folk pottery traditions of southern Portugal.
