The works of Prazeres Côta, like those of her mother, Júlia, evoke the rural life of Minho, its traditional characters, and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.
This candlestick, in the form of a tiered cake, is the most authentic expression of Prazeres Côta's personal and creative universe. She shapes clay naively, representing what she sees around her.
Why I Love It
- An unclassifiable figurine between craftsmanship and naive art.
- A burlesque and naive evocation of a historical character.
- A unique work signed by its author.

More Information
The Côta family is the most charismatic and representative family of figurative art in Barcelos and the Minho region in northern Portugal.
Prazeres, one of Julia Côta's daughters, continues the tradition initiated by her great-grandfather, João Domingos Côta da Rocha, the creator of the famous Portuguese Rooster (Galo de Barcelos).
Already honored as the revelation of the year at the Feira de Barcelos in 2018, the pottery museum has included her in an exhibition called "Geração Côta" and presents several of her works from the museum's collection and private collections.
