Product Description:

The Tagus Sardine has the best view of Lisbon. From the river she sees the people, the roofs and the Castle; she sees the bridge and the boats, and the departures and returns that make the city live. She is a lucky Sardine – and, as Amália used to say, She has water, she knows how to swim / I wish I were a sardine.

The Sardine collection by Bordallo Pinheiro results from a collaboration between the Earthenware Factory of Caldas da Rainha, founded in 1884 by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, EGEAC (Lisbon’s Cultural and Animation municipal entity). And Lisbon’s City Council.

The original Bordallo Pinheiro’s Sardine, designed in the XIX century, due to its classic three-dimensional nature, became the ideal support for receiving the creative work that EGEAC develops since 2003, within Lisbon’s Festivities, which transformed the sardine, iconic fish of Portuguese culture and gastronomy, an international icon of the city and of Summer celebrations of the Portuguese capital.

 

Designer Sofia Fischer:

She was born in 1987 two days before Christmas, a fact which she still tries to forgive their parents. She is a communication designer, and she got a degree from the Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa , and in 2012 she completed a post graduate degree in children's book (Universidade Católica). She lives in Lisbon with a cat and a human (in this order) and every day she sees the Castle of S. Jorge by the window.
