Ra-Ro IndexRareWhat is the Ra-Ro Index?

It looks like a matryoshka, but this doll tells a very Portuguese story: that of a countrywoman from Alentejo, with her traditional costume and hat. In his pottery, Xico Tarefa shapes the clay figure as a bottle. Then the painting gives it colour, expression and personality.

A doll with a lot of personality

Doll Bottle

The Alentejo countrywoman, in clay and shaped as a bottle.

Story of the piece

Doll Bottle

Some bottles have a lot of personality

The shape is born on the wheel, in the hands of Xico Tarefa, a master potter from Redondo who has worked with clay since the age of 13. Then it is the painting that brings the figure to life: the details of the costume, the colours and the finishes give expression to the Alentejo woman it portrays.

More than a decorative or practical piece, this doll bottle recalls the women of the countryside and their place in Alentejo identity. A traditional pottery object in which Xico’s know-how and the painting meet to turn clay into a figure full of character.

Costume, hat and colour. A woman of Alentejo in clay.

DA RODA AO PINCEL

Aos 13 anos começou a trabalhar o barro. Aos 16 já era mestre oleiro. Hoje, no Redondo, Xico Tarefa dá forma às peças na roda enquanto Zeza, sua colaboradora, e às vezes Teresa, sua mulher, o ajudam a pintar a expressão final.
