$49.24
đ Step into Portuguese charm with this hand-painted terracotta urn from Viana do Alentejoâa sun-kissed region in the heart of Alentejo, Portugal.
Every curve of this vase tells a story of centuries-old folk art traditions, with its vibrant blue flower, swirling green leaves, and folkloric border designs.
The glossy glaze sparkles inside and out, while the unglazed terracotta base bears the signature âViana do Alentejo Lagarto Ana,â marking its authenticity and artisanal soul.
đ A Glimpse at Viana do Alentejo & Alentejo
Tucked in Ăvora District of southern Portugal, Viana do Alentejo perches atop a gentle hill overlooking golden plains. The Alentejo regionâliterally âbeyond the Tagus Riverââis famed for cork oak groves, endless wheat fields, and a pace of life that reflects timeless traditions. Pottery has thrived here for centuries: local artisans shaped clay from nearby deposits into pitchers, bowls, and vases, decorating them with bold floral motifs and geometric bands in cobalt blue, emerald green, sunshine yellow, and sunset orange. This handcrafted vase is a modern heirloom, echoing the hand-thrown wares that once lined village hearths.
âLagartoâ isnât a neighborhood in Viana do Alentejo but rather the artistic surname or workshop name used by the potter Ana. In Portuguese, âlagartoâ means âlizard,â and itâs not uncommon for artisans to adopt a nickname or family moniker tied to nature. By signing âViana do Alentejo Lagarto Ana,â she proudly stamps her heritage and creative lineage onto every piece.
