What you’ll find

What Cortiço & Netos is known for

Three grandsons of tile-factory owners opened this shop around 2015 to sell off warehouses of discontinued mid-20th-century azulejo patterns their families had produced decades earlier. Each tile is sold individually rather than by the box, turning surplus stock from shuttered Portuguese factories into a working archive of ceramic design.
