ANDORINHA black large
In Portugal, the swallow symbolizes spring, new beginnings and freedom. It represents luck, protection and prosperity, as its return from the south is seen as a sign of positive change. It is a popular motif in handicrafts, reflecting a connection to nature and Portuguese traditions.
This Schwalbe is made by Bordallo Pinheiros and is therefore of particularly high quality.
Andorinha ~ German: Swallow

Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro (1846 – 1905) was a Portuguese artist in the field of drawing and ceramics. His colourful style still characterises the ceramics factory named after him in Caldas da Rainha in central Portugal. Imaginative motifs from the world of animals, flowers, and plants, such as the well-known cabbage leaves, appeal to Portuguese grandparents as much as to design-loving grandchildren.
