Introducing the Pink Edition of the Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Collection
Portuguese ceramics house Bordallo Pinheiro, founded in 1884, has mastered the art of transforming the everyday into the extraordinary through its celebrated Cabbage Collection—leaf-shaped, richly textured pieces molded in tradition and whimsy. Here, the iconic cabbage motif is re-imagined in a soft blush-pink glaze, adding a fresh, elegant twist to its botanical legacy.
Here are five standout pieces from this Pink Cabbage line that deserve center stage on your table:
Bordallo Pinheiro Pink Cabbage Dinner Plate: Measuring roughly 10.4″ in diameter, this is the perfect size for main-course dining. With its sculpted leaf texture and blush glaze, it makes even simple meals feel elevated.
Bordallo Pinheiro Pink Cabbage Salad Bowl: A generous salad bowl at 11.6″ diameter and 5.2″ high — ideal for shared dishes, pasta or a vibrant greens display, all in that signature pink leaf-form.
Bordallo Pinheiro Pink Cabbage Mug: Bring the theme into your morning ritual. This 18-oz mug carries the same botanical motifs and durable Portuguese earthenware construction — functional and decorative.
Bordallo Pinheiro Pink Cabbage Small Bowl: At about 4.7″ diameter, this petite bowl is perfect for side dishes, olives, or desserts. Its subtle size makes it an easy way to layer the pink cabbage aesthetic throughout the table.
Bordallo Pinheiro Pink Cabbage Oval Platter: A statement piece measuring around 14.8″ in length. Use it for roasts, baked dishes, or as a centerpiece platter — its elongated shape makes it dramatic yet refined.
Why this collection matters
The blush pink tone softens the boldly textured cabbage-leaf motif, creating a balance between organic form and polished elegance. The earthenware finish ensures durability, while the hand-finished glaze variations give each piece unique character.
Style tip: Pair these blush plates with muted linen, gold or brass flatware, and glassware that allows the pink glaze to gently shine through. For a mixed-look table, incorporate one green or cream cabbage piece alongside the pink for color contrast that remains cohesive.
