Rare Pink Cabbage Luncheon Set by Bordallo Pinheiro, Glazed Earthenware Portugal

A highly sought-after and increasingly rare set of pink cabbageware by renowned Portuguese ceramics house Bordallo Pinheiro. This exquisite luncheon set includes eight delicately molded plates paired with a generous matching serving plate, all rendered in the coveted discontinued pink glaze.

Celebrated for its sculptural form and whimsical vegetal motif, the cabbage series is a beloved staple of 19th- and 20th-century faience. The pink colourway, no longer in production, brings a fresh and romantic tone to the collection—elevating it from pastoral charm to refined tabletop statement.

Each plate is beautifully detailed, with naturalistic veining and gently scalloped edges. The soft blush glaze lends a subtle sophistication, perfect for layering into both classic and contemporary settings.

– 8 luncheon plates, approx. 9” diameter
