This is an absolutely charming dish, made in Brittany, France, by the BCI (Bretagne Céramique Industrie) from the 1980's. It is from a collection designed around fishing/rowing boats from various European countries, this one is typical of one you would find in Portugal.
It was originally made to be used as oven to table cookware but I've styled it as a bathroom soap dish or candle holder, as it would make a great accessory in a nautical bathroom/washroom setting.
An unusual gift for anyone who loves 'sea themed' interior décor. Perfect for beach huts and holiday homes by the sea.
Glazed white on the inside and 'wood' brown on the outside, it is beautifully detailed in the shape of a little Portuguese fishing boat, flat at the back and rising gently to a point at the front, with ridges reminiscent of boat timbers.
It measures 23cms/ 9" long x 10cms/ 4" wide x 4cms /1½" deep and weighs 0.5kgs/ 1lb. It is marked 'Du Océan, Portugal' on the underside. It is in perfect condition, with no chips, cracks or scratches.
We offer FREE worldwide shipping.
Your purchase will be carefully packaged and shipped from France. It will be fully tracked, signed for and insured.
