Vintage Highly Textured Cabbage Trinket or Serving Bowl

Discover this exceptional piece of vintage Portuguese earthenware, showcasing a stunning interpretation of the classic Cabbage Ware style. Unlike smoother, more common examples, this shallow serving dish is defined by its dramatic, highly textured surface, meticulously molded to replicate the deep crinkles and prominent veins of a ruffled cabbage or savoy leaf. The rich, variegated green glaze pools beautifully into the deep crevices, creating shadows and highlights that give the piece incredible depth and realism, making it a standout decorative object or serving platter.

Stamped "MADE IN PORTUGAL" on the base, this dish is part of the tradition of high-quality Majolica and Palissy-style ceramics produced in the region during the mid-20th century (c. 1950s–1980s). It features a subtle, creamy white stem or handle, completing the organic look. Packed with charming, well-loved character. Perfect for serving, using at a catch-all dish, or simply displaying as a unique, sculptural accent piece in a kitchen, dining room, or curio cabinet.

Disclosures: Notable chips in the glazed finish along the edge of the bowl. General wear consistent with vintage age. No other major flaws to note.
