Product Description

“The Ruff Vase” is a beautiful piece of glazed pottery adorned with a burel collar (100% pure wool handmade by mountain shepherds from the heart of Portugal). The flower vase perfectly combines traditional Portuguese ceramic techniques and the modern design of our times. Available in black, red and green, these beautiful decorative vases are made in the town of Caldas de Rainha in central Portugal by the design studio Laboratório d’Estórias (Laboratory of Stories). Each piece is created around a folk tale or myth. This Vase is inspired by the ruffles wore by Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century. This story tells how the ruffle collar started with a baby's bib, moved on to a waistcoat and finally became firmly installed as a ruffle around Royals’ necks. The attractive pot is perfect for home or office décor, dinner parties, wedding decoration and other special occasions. Just fill them with flower arrangements or leave it on its own to bring overall elegance to any space. Presented in a gift box wrapped with a paper sleeve bearing an exclusive illustration and the text “The ruff Vase" in English and Portuguese, is a great housewarming gift.

Storytellers

Ceramics with a story

In this laboratory, even the technique reveals a story — and this one starts at the beginning of the 19th century when “Maria dos Cacos”, using only her hands, became the first of a long tradition of potters from Caldas da Rainha.

Her ancient techniques are a story that is threatened to get lost forever. And it’s in this attempt to preserve this knowledge that Laboratório d’Estórias finds a reason to exist, recovering and valuing the painting techniques of the end of the 19th century and the vast tradition of manual techniques from Caldas da Rainha.

Laboratório d’Estórias

Laboratório d’Estórias came to life through the hands of Rute Rosa and Sergio Vieira. In common, they have the place where they studied design – ESAD, in Caldas da Rainha – but more than that, a desire to tell stories through objects, allying Rute passion for ceramics to the Sérgio talent for the development of original products.
