Our suggestion for a beautiful piece of pottery is Conimbriga Ceramic.  This platter is an example of this type of 17th century decorated earthenware.

Known as "desenho fino" this type of decoration usually portrays a natural scene with blue and other coloring, delicate contours, basically representing colored landscapes with central scenes that reproduce different settings, animals and cane brakes. The shade of blue used in the first part of the 17th century was unique, with a purplish hue applied to outlines to highlight the design.  Chestnut brown, brownish-yellow and green tones were used in various cases on items made in Coimbra. In the second half of the century, the polychromatic splendor created was linked to the development of forms and the outstanding choices made by each factory.
