Miss Chintz Sardine by Bordallo Pinheiro
Miss Chintz Sardine by Bordallo Pinheiro
Winner of the acclaimed Lisbon contest “Chintz Dress" (being the only candidate in the contest), the graceful, garish Lisboeta sardine features a model inspired in the 50's, in Pombaline chintz, set off by an English embroidery ribbon. And as the Fado says: “There goes fancy/ Everyday more beautiful/ And her chintz dress/ Always has a Sunday look”.
Sardines represent the Portuguese Coast.
Part of a series of collectible sardines decorated by artists. Comes in a gift box.
1 3/8” x 7 2/7” x 1 3/8”
