Lizard vase Bordallo Pinheiro

The lizard can lose its tail several times and have it grow back. This makes it a symbol of renewal, even an allegory of resilience. Its presence on this Portuguese terracotta decorative vase is an invitation to draw inspiration from the past and look to the future.

That's how it's done in the workshops where it was imagined, then shaped, before being painted and glazed: inspiration is drawn from ancestral know-how to create shapes and decorations that blend perfectly with a modern interior.
