The Bacalhôa Geometric Relief Tiles - Casa do Lago are faithfully reproduced from the remarkable 16th-century azulejos that adorn the walls of Casa do Lago at Quinta da Bacalhôa, near Azeitão, Portugal. Geometric, sculptural and richly atmospheric, they bring one of Portugal’s great Renaissance-Mudéjar tile traditions back into contemporary architectural use.

These Portuguese relief tiles are inspired by the historic wall coverings of Casa do Lago, where repeated star-like geometry, raised glaze and rhythmic surface patterning create a deeply decorative architectural field. The design combines green, blue-green, ochre and aged cream tones, with the glaze gathering around the relief to create shadow, texture and movement.

Our version has been faithfully reproduced and then authentically distressed to echo the time-softened character of the original tiles. The surface is intentionally irregular, with tonal variation, glaze breaks, softened edges and the quiet imperfections associated with historic azulejaria rather than modern factory flatness.
