Perfect little colourful shop with hand crafted ceramics, art and jewelry. We bought several items here. It beats all the standard tourist souvenir crap that you find in abundance in Funchal. So go here in stead!

I bought a little fish and there were so many other nice things that I would have liked to take home with me. I prefer these crafts shops more than the normal tacky gift shops that clutter the side streets.

This place has some very nice and unique pieces of art. The prices are very reasonable for the art. Definitely a nice spot to pick that missing piece for your wall or table or wherever you put your art.
