More than a trivet. A little piece of Portugal with a lot of possibilities. 🇵🇹✨

Yes, it protects your table from hot dishes. But why stop there?

Hand-painted by Portuguese artisans in Caldas da Rainha, this ceramic trivet brings the beauty of traditional Portuguese tile design into everyday spaces.

Use it beneath a steaming casserole or baking dish, then let it stay on the table as a colorful serving accent. Move it to the coffee table with a plant, use it to organize a bathroom counter, or simply display it as a decorative piece when it isn't protecting a surface.

The cork base adds a practical layer of protection while giving the ceramic a beautiful, slightly elevated finish.

That’s the charm of Portuguese craftsmanship: beautiful enough to display, useful enough to live with.

And because every piece is hand-painted, no two are completely alike. 💙

How would you use yours — kitchen, coffee table, bathroom, or plants? Tell us below. 👇

Discover a trivet that does much more than protect your table, and bring a little Portuguese character into your home.

🌿 A Table Inspired by Alentejo 🇵🇹

There’s something special about a Portuguese table — it doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to feel welcoming, lived-in, and full of character.

Our Alentejo Pottery Collection brings that spirit beautifully to the table. Each piece is handmade and hand-painted in Alentejo by one of Portugal’s oldest potteries, featuring colorful floral motifs and the subtle variations that make true artisan pottery so special.

Imagine these pieces layered with natural linen, fresh bread, olives, olive oil, and a few branches of greenery. A simple countryside-inspired setting suddenly feels like a table somewhere in the Portuguese countryside. 🌿🍞🫒

And the beauty doesn’t stop after dinner. These pieces can move effortlessly from tableware to kitchen décor, whether displayed on open shelving, a countertop, or arranged as decorative plates on the wall.

No two pieces are exactly alike — and that’s precisely the point.

Discover the Alentejo Collection and bring the warmth of Portuguese craftsmanship to your table.

Some designs never fade—they become part of a nation's story. 🇵🇹

Centuries ago, Portuguese artisans transformed the influence of Spanish and Moorish artistry into what would become one of Portugal's greatest cultural treasures: the azulejo.

At We Are Portugal, we've partnered with one of Portugal's most respected ceramists to bring these remarkable traditions to the United States through a collection of genuine handmade and hand-painted ceramic tiles. Inspired by the original 16th-century designs, each tile faithfully recreates the intricate patterns that continue to adorn Portugal's palaces, churches, historic buildings, and family homes today.

More than décor, these tiles are living pieces of history—crafted using traditional techniques that have been preserved for generations. Every brushstroke honors a legacy that continues to define Portuguese architecture and artistry more than 500 years later.

Bring a timeless piece of Portugal into your home and let centuries of craftsmanship become part of your own story.

Some pieces don't simply preserve tradition—they reinterpret it with remarkable artistry. 🤍

Handcrafted in Fatima, Portugal by the same family of artisans who create the Official Statues for the Shrine of Fatima, this 12-Inch Our Lady of Fatima Statue is finished using the beautiful Patina painting technique—a time-honored process that gives each piece a softly aged appearance in warm beige tones.

Unlike the traditional white mantle often associated with Our Lady of Fatima, this distinctive patina finish creates a timeless antique character, highlighting every hand-painted detail while ensuring no two statues are ever exactly alike. Each brushstroke reflects the artisan's own touch, making every piece a unique expression of faith, craftsmanship, and Portuguese tradition.

Whether displayed on a home altar, a prayer corner, or gifted to someone special, this statue is a meaningful reminder that devotion and artistry can be beautifully intertwined.

Discover handcrafted Portuguese devotion, one unique piece at a time.
