In 1884, an eponymous factory in Caldas da Rainha along the Portuguese coast was founded to create whimsical and naturalistic faience pieces.  Because of the special minerals in the local soil and the skills of the craftsmen in the area, Caldas da Rainha is well-known as the capital of Portuguese pottery. Today the factory takes Pinheiro's original style into the 21st century with satirical portraits of modern day celebrities, while continuing its old fashioned, made by hand tradition of Portuguese pottery making.
