Viana I Hand-painted Ceramic Sugar Bowl

This Portuguese ceramic sugar bowl is a truly exceptional piece. Crafted in a small workshop in the north of Portugal, it is entirely hand-shaped and hand-painted using traditional know-how passed down from generation to generation. The delicately drawn and coloured floral motifs reflect the spirit of historic décor from the Viana region, where every detail requires long, meticulous work infused with passion.

These unique objects are becoming rare today: they require considerable time, artisanal mastery, and a talent that few makers still preserve. As witnesses to a heritage that is gradually disappearing, they deserve to be rediscovered and to take pride of place in our homes, bringing back the elegance and authenticity of Portuguese craftsmanship.

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

These unique objects demand long, painstaking work, combining patience with exemplary skill. The vivid colours and delicate details bear witness to expertise that is fading away, for lack of time and artisans to keep it alive.

This collection celebrates these rare creations—both useful and decorative—that tell a story and bring a touch of authenticity to any interior. More than simple household items, they are true fragments of Portuguese heritage that you bring back to life at home.
