About This Design

Portuguese blue and white wall tiles with angels round pillow

Portuguese blue and white wall tiles with angels round pillow

Blue and white patterned tiles have become synonymous with Portugal. Portuguese wall tiles of Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina - St Catherine's Chapel - in the city of Porto, Portugal. This chapel is famous for its exterior use of azulejos of a religious nature. Capela das Almas (Church of the Soules) exterior wall is covered with blue and white tiles, more than 10,000. This chapel was remodeled in 1801 and the tiles on the exterior were only added in 1929.  The blue and white tiles have become the most dominant trend. This is a reproduction of a photo I took so you'll notice the irregular surface due to the passage of time. The tiles on the facade portray the life of two saints adored at Capela das Almas: Santa Catarina and São Francisco de Assis. These two angels and the fountain pouring water are a small portion of it. The phrase O jacto milagroso de uma fonte translates to The miraculous jet of a fountain. Above it, there's a scene representing the miracle of water. The farmer, to whom Francis lent his mule as a mount, was tormented by thirst. Water comes bubbling out of the rocks in answer to the Saint's prayer and the farmer drinks. The two Franciscans comment on the scene. This product is ideal to send/offer to a Portuguese friend, to a relative, to a Portuguese American or someone of Portuguese descent, or to someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions or the beauty of azulejos.

Brushed Polyester Round Throw Pillow 41 x 41 cm

I am pleased with this product, although there are a few minor points. It seems the fabric weaves are a bit large, which means the details of any text based photo will become slightly blurry. I'm not sure if this is printer related, but rather trying to print on the particular type of material. The zipper and seams were well made, and the prints were equal on both sides. The pillow circumference is not perfectly smooth, there are ridges (as seen in the stock photos). I did find my pillow didn't have the most even distribution of polyester, such that the top half was very round and lovely, but the bottom end had more kinds and could do with more stuffing (which I think I can easily do!). The colours came out as expected and quiet lovely. However the main focal point of the pillow (a vector black text image) was printed slightly blurry. The background colours and textures were true to the design. Reminder: Always expect less vibrancy than what is seen on the screen.
