Located just around the corner from our AirBnB, I kept encountering the eye-catching ceramic vases in this shop's window, and finally decided to check the shop out.
There were so many cute and cool things! The ceramic designs ran the gamut from traditional to some very avant guarde and modern stuff! I loved the variety of styles and sizes the Portuguese style Rooster came in, but ironically enough ended up nothing ceramic related, instead bought a cork coin purse for myself and a traditional gentleman's Portuguese style coin purse for my brother which was way more costly than I'd expected, but something I'm glad purchased here, as didn't find that style at any of the other tourist shops we went to. I also ended up purchasing some postcards as well as a Cork postcard to send to my parents. Note - that cork postcard was very hard to write on!!
Overall, seems like a good little shop to check out, and it didn't seem like a massive tourist rip-off place as cost on all items were clearly displayed and the shopkeeper who helped me with purchases was super sweet and explained about items when I couldn't quite figure out what they were used for.
