If it was necessary to symbolize , through colour, the portuguese heritage, the chosen colours would be the white and blue.
The portuguese tiles of a great ornamental and iconographic richness, present in almost the portuguese monuments, justify this choice.
Also, in the fine pottery or in the common one, used in our monuments, monasteries and palaces we can find a beautifull collection of rare articles with a great plastic beauty, based in the white and blue colours.
