Here are four items I've gathered, all purchased in Portugal. They are all vintage. "Saudade" is a special Portuguese word that expresses a wistful charm. ① Portugal has been influenced by the Islamic faith, so intricate patterns are used in tiles and other items. One postcard reflects this culture. Incidentally, cork is also a specialty of Portugal. The other two postcards feature the iconic tram. Similar to Nagasaki, this mode of transport helps residents and tourists navigate the hilly city. Cork absorbs water, making it stylish for use as a coaster. ② Who is depicted on the cover of this mini notebook (15cm x 11cm) I bought at a stationery store? Perhaps Nobel laureate Saramago? Unknown. ③ A peanut-shaped dish with some depth. It's larger on the front side and smaller on the back. What do you think it's used for? In Portugal, people enjoy casual conversations over local wine and small snacks. This is a dish for those snacks. You put olives in the front, and move the pits to the smaller side. It's amazing that a dish is made just for eating olives; the Latins must really love them (lol). The handmade earthenware features a landscape of farmland on its surface. The unpretentious, free-flowing brushstrokes are the charm of this piece. Compact delivery or Yu-packet Plus
