Where to find a large selection of Portuguese tableware

1. Why is Portuguese tableware so sought after?

Portuguese tableware captivates with its authenticity and colors. Portugal has a long tradition of ceramic craftsmanship, particularly in cities like Caldas da Rainha and Alcobaça. Portuguese plates and dishes are distinguished by their colorful patterns, often inspired by the sea and nature, their artisanal craftsmanship, and their durable manufacturing quality. It's a perfect choice if you're looking for pieces that bring warmth and a Mediterranean touch to your table.

2. Where to find authentic Portuguese tableware online?

There are many shops, but not all of them guarantee authenticity and quality. Large generalist platforms sometimes offer industrial imitations. To be sure of buying authentic Portuguese handcrafted tableware, it is recommended to turn to specialists in tableware made in Europe. At Amphitria, we select only European brands, with particular attention to Portuguese know-how, to guarantee you pieces that are authentic, aesthetically pleasing, and durable. And Amphitria offers you a very wide selection of Portuguese ceramics for your tableware, with colors, styles, and patterns all very different but always very aesthetic and practical for everyday use.

3. How to choose the right Portuguese tableware for your table?

It all depends on the use:

• For everyday use : choose simple but sturdy plates.

• For entertaining : choose hand-decorated pieces that create a “wow” effect at the table.

• For a gift : a large ceramic dish, pitcher or matching service is always appreciated.

At Amphitria, you'll find pieces that combine aesthetics and practicality, perfect for enhancing your meals without compromising on quality.
