Description
This is for the person who likes their home to feel curated, but never over-styled.
The Vase Portrait - Small by Tania Bulhões carries the Portrait collection’s expressive face motif into a more intimate scale, where it feels almost like a quiet object you discover rather than one you decorate with. Crafted in fine porcelain and finished by artisans in Limoges, it balances technical precision with a softer, artistic hand. The painted features are bold but restrained, giving it a sculptural presence without overwhelming the space.
Place it on a stack of books, a side table, or a narrow shelf where it can be seen in passing. It works best when it is not trying too hard, just sitting beautifully in the everyday rhythm of a room.
Care
Gold banding and hand painting mean no microwave, ever, and no dishwasher if you want the gold to stay gold. Warm water, mild soap, dry it properly, put it back in rotation. The body itself was fired past anything your kitchen can do to it. The decoration is the delicate part, and even that survives ordinary Tuesdays.

“Inspired by nature and the world"
Tania Bulhões opened a small shop in Uberaba, in the interior of Minas Gerais, in 1989. It sold plates, paintings, whatever came in. Somewhere in there she worked out that the plates were the point. São Paulo followed in 1991.
