Tapestry - Ceuz d'Areia - Portugal

Tapestry
Portuguese tapestry is characterized by its exuberant decorative variety, and represents one of the most characteristic craft demonstrations in the country – Arraiolos and Beiriz are two of the most famous Portuguese Tapestries.
We experienced this valuable Portuguese art and discovered that we are able to make beautiful carpets…

Pottery - Cruz d'Areia - Portugal

POTTERY

Man works clay since pre-history.
With the Portuguese Discoveries, through contact with the East, the Portuguese people refined this art and became specialists in the manufacture of ceramics.
Porcelain from “Vista Alegre” factory and ceramics from Coimbra, Caldas da Rainha, Mafra or Viana do Castelo, enchant tourists visiting Portugal.
Inspired by this wonderful Portuguese tradition, we built a beautiful present to offer Mummy.
