Viana I Hand-painted Ceramic Lidded Mug

This Portuguese ceramic lidded mug is a true collector’s piece. Crafted in a small workshop in northern Portugal, it is entirely shaped and hand-painted using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The delicate floral motifs, finely drawn and colored, reflect the soul of the historic designs of the Viana region, where each detail requires time, precision, and passion.

Such unique pieces are increasingly rare today: they require considerable time, artisanal mastery, and a talent that only a few craftsmen still preserve. As witnesses of a disappearing heritage, they deserve to be rediscovered and to reclaim their place in our homes, reviving the elegance and authenticity of Portuguese craftsmanship.

More information?

This exclusive collection, created for Luisa Paixão, comes from a workshop in northern Portugal where each piece is hand-shaped and decorated with traditional floral motifs inherited from Viana, where craftsmanship has been passed down for generations.

These unique items require long and meticulous work, combining patience with expertise. The vivid colours and delicate details reflect a tradition that is slowly disappearing, due to lack of time and skilled artisans to carry it on.

This collection highlights these rare creations, both functional and decorative, that tell a story and bring a touch of authenticity into any home. More than simple household objects, they are true fragments of Portuguese heritage brought back to life in your interior.
