About the Item

This charming pair of Portuguese pottery shoes, crafted in the renowned Alcobaça – Vestal style, showcases the region’s signature artisanal beauty. Made from blue-glazed pottery, these miniature shoes are adorned with vibrant hand-painted floral decorations, featuring rich wine-red, warm yellow, and earthy green tones. The floral motifs bring life and color to the design, adding a touch of traditional Portuguese artistry. The shoes are delicately modeled with open-toe details, high heels, and curved shapes, mimicking real footwear with a playful and decorative twist. The hand-painted blue rims outline the contours of the shoes, enhancing their elegant design and providing a refined finish. Marked and numbered 1085 on the bottom, the pieces reflect their authenticity and collectible value. Ideal as decorative accents or as part of a pottery collection, they embody the craftsmanship and folk traditions associated with Alcobaça ceramics. Perfect for display on shelves, mantels, or tables, these pottery shoes exude a rustic charm that blends well with traditional and eclectic interiors. Their vibrant colors, artistic detailing, and historical significance make them a delightful addition to any decor or collection of Portuguese ceramics.
