Portuguese blue and white wall tiles with angels candy jar
Blue and white patterned tiles have become synonymous with Portugal. Portuguese wall tiles of Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina - St Catherine's Chapel - in the city of Porto, Portugal. This chapel is famous for its exterior use of azulejos of a religious nature.
Capela das Almas (Church of the Soules) exterior wall is covered with blue and white tiles, more than 10,000. This chapel was remodeled in 1801 and the tiles on the exterior were only added in 1929. The blue and white tiles have become the most dominant trend. This is a reproduction of a photo I took so you'll notice the irregular surface due to the passage of time.
The tiles on the facade portray the life of two saints adored at Capela das Almas: Santa Catarina and São Francisco de Assis. These two angels and the fountain pouring water are a small portion of it. The phrase O jacto milagroso de uma fonte translates to The miraculous jet of a fountain. Above it, there's a scene representing the miracle of water. The farmer, to whom Francis lent his mule as a mount, was tormented by thirst. Water comes bubbling out of the rocks in answer to the Saint's prayer and the farmer drinks. The two Franciscans comment on the scene.
This product is ideal to send/offer to a Portuguese friend, to a relative, to a Portuguese American or someone of Portuguese descent, or to someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions or the beauty of azulejos.

Designing was easy and accurate. Finished product matches design. I also created the one for cotton swabs. Excellent, very clean and accurate.

Creator Review
The candy jar was a gift. The recipient absolutely loves it. It shows two rescued pets who are now adopted and the logo of the national charity that facilitated the rescues. The featured dog's adoptive mom ordered a jar too; she and the dog both love it as well. The dog is especially fond of the candy jar as mom keeps doggie treats in it. The printing is undoubtedly excellent although I did not see it in person myself.

Product arrived on time and looked great. Given to my dad for a candy dish at work. He loved it. Colors looked really good. Only downfall was that the images were a little blurry. But you can not beat it for the price.
