Banana da Madeira - Salad Bowl

The simple beauty of the banana leaf is truly captured in the detailing of this medium sized salad bowl. Ideal for filling with a sharing salad, fruit or an indulgent dessert.    

 Banana da Madeira Platter 

Depicting 3 banana leaves, this medium size platter is flat with a slightly upturned edge. Perfect for presenting an array of snacks, canapés or charcuterie and cheeses.

Banana da Madeira Platter - Large

Featuring multiple overlapping banana leaves, this large platter is great for serving mains such as fish, meat or pasta. It would also look stunning as a fruit bowl, or left empty as an eye-catching centrepiece. 

Banana da Madeira Pitcher

Beautiful and functional, this jug is perfect for serving a refreshing Sangria or an equally thirst quenching tropical cocktail. Alternatively, fill with a gorgeous bunch of fresh flowers and use as a vase.

Mimicking the shape of a single curled up banana leaf, this small to medium bowl can be used for serving pre-dinner snacks, side dishes, or sauces and gravies.

Madeira Dreaming

Madeira, an archipelago of 4 islands, is an oasis within the Atlantic. Dramatic natural scenery, towering mountains and tropical forests, make it a special and unique place. Combine this with a people that are welcoming and hospitable, reflecting the laid back nature of the Portuguese -- who wouldn't be inspired?
