Hailing from 13th-century Portugal, Azulejos refer to glazed ceramic tiles that are intricately painted. These decorative elements embellish an array of structures in contemporary times, from quaint family residences to monastic edifices, regal palaces, bustling railway stations, and cozy restaurants.
Traditionally, the design on these tiles is deeply rooted in the unique tale of the building's past, evolving into a complex mosaic of individual pieces. The motif exhibited on this diary cover is inspired by the traditional tiles adorning the facades of time-honored houses nestled in the heart of Porto, Portugal, immersing users in the richness of a bygone yet cherished era.
