Ceramic swallows, a Portuguese tradition!

Ceramic swallows are a Portuguese tradition that dates back hundreds of years. These small ceramic birds have been used to decorate homes, businesses, and public spaces for centuries! They have become a symbol of Portuguese culture and history.

What is the meaning of swallows?

Swallows are migratory birds that herald the arrival of spring, synonymous, as the ancients said, with the season of love. These unique birds have a distinctive characteristic: they almost always return to the same place where they previously built their nest and only ever mate with one partner! For this reason, they have become a symbol of love, family, fidelity, home, and loyalty.

The tradition of using ceramic swallows as decorations has been passed down through generations in Portugal. Swallows are also said to bring luck, joy, and protection against evil spirits. It is believed that seeing a swallow means your wishes will come true. It's no wonder, then, that they remain so popular today.

Many people therefore choose to incorporate ceramic swallows into their home or workplace for a decorative touch and as a good luck charm.
