Emerging from Bordallo Pinheiro's commitment to preserving the cultural and artistic heritage of Portugal, their sardines are a masterful blend of craftsmanship and creativity. These vibrant pieces, handcrafted by seasoned artisans in the brand's factory in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, capture the spirit of Bordallo Pinheiro's passion for ceramics. Each sardine tells a story, representing the brand's innovative use of traditional ceramic techniques, and embodies Bordallo Pinheiro's remarkable ability to transform a simple, common creature into a distinctive decorative item.  these meticulously detailed ceramic sardines are more than just beautiful objects—they're a celebration of artistry, imagination, and Portugal's rich cultural tapestry. 

Bordallo Pinheiro's sardines can be creatively hung to mimic a lively shoal of fish swimming across your wall. A hole at the back makes it easy to hang from a nail or screw. Simply vary their heights, angles, and directions to create the dynamic illusion of movement and depth. Place a group of sardines close together, as if they're swimming in unison, and let others stray a bit, depicting the natural randomness of a fish shoal. With some thoughtfully placed sardines, your wall becomes a visual feast, transforming into an aquatic vista that captures the vibrant energy and intricate beauty of a shoal of sardines. It's a delightful way to bring a slice of the sea into your living space.

Designed by Ana Moura, this sardine warns of the damaging effects of plastic on the environment, namely the oceans. Defending the environment is everyone’s responsibility, in everything we do, in everything we are, in the world we live in. It’s important that we think, every day, about how we can be more responsible.
