Lateira by Rui Pereira
In honour to that delicious Portuguese Sardine, Rui Pereira has designed this ceramic.
Sardine conservation factories are an important part in the history of Matosinhos, a seaside town near Oporto, in the north of Portugal. Despite their reduced number nowadays, they have been linked to this city for more than a century. Lateira´s goal is to pay a tribute to this nearly extinct industry, by transforming a simple sardine-based meal into a luxurious banquet. Its shape is inspired in the floral pattern of the fisherman´s wives bandanas. It is made of white porcelain along with gold ink and has a glassy finishing.
