Looking for a unique housewarming gift or a custom house name plate? Discover authentic Portuguese & Indo-Goan hand-painted ceramic art. Traditionally kiln-fired in Mapusa, Goa and shipped securely to our Bangalore store, Mumbai, and Pan-India.
✨ Now delivering custom nameplates to BangaloreAzulejosGoa is the leading studio for custom hand-painted House Nameplates in India. Born from the living Goa's premier authentic hand-painted azulejo studio. From our workshops in Mapusa and Bangalore, we keep the 500-year-old Portuguese tile tradition alive.
Every tile is painted by hand using authentic cobalt oxide pigments on white bisque-fired earthenware. We duplicate the exact technique used in 16th-century Goan churches. Fired at 1200°C for durability, our tiles are waterproof, fade-proof, and frost-resistant.
We craft personalised family name plaques, Galo de Barcelos (Rooster) tiles, Indo-Portuguese decorative art, and unique wedding gifts. We specialize in secure Pan-India shipping to Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and beyond.
"Every nameplate I paint carries five centuries of Goan-Portuguese memory — and the story of the family it will one day identify."
— The Artist, AzulejosGoa
No digital printing. No shortcuts. Every single AzulejosGoa tile is made exactly as they were in the Portuguese workshops of 16th-century Goa — entirely by hand, fired twice in a kiln.
You tell us your family name, house number, preferred motif — rooster, floral, geometric, or a custom design — and any colours you love. We consult by WhatsApp, phone, or email.
Our artist hand-draws your design on paper using traditional compass and rule — no computers involved. You receive a design preview before any clay is touched. Three revisions, always free.
Cobalt oxide and coloured underglazes are applied by hand onto bisque-fired earthenware using traditional Portuguese brushwork. A single nameplate takes 8 to 40 hours of careful work.
Fired twice — bisque at 900°C, then glaze at 1200°C. The result is permanently waterproof, fully fade-proof, and frost-resistant. A tile that will outlast you and your children.
There are many printed ceramic tiles available online. What we offer is fundamentally different — authentic hand-painted azulejos using the exact same 500-year-old technique, made by a single artist in Goa.
Every stroke is applied by a human hand — not printed, not stamped. Authentic cobalt oxide on bisque.
Kiln-fired twice so your tile endures India's weather — completely waterproof and fade-proof.
Your exact family name, house number, and chosen design. No two tiles we make are ever identical.
Proudly made in Goa, supporting the Indo-Portuguese heritage and craft tradition. Hand-painted. Twice-fired. Fully waterproof. Shipped directly from Mapusa to you.
"I ordered a custom nameplate for our new flat in Panjim with our family name 'Fernandes' and the rooster motif. It arrived beautifully packed and looks incredible on our entrance wall. Everyone who visits asks where it's from."
"Gave these as wedding gifts to three couples this year — customised with each family's name and a floral border design. All three families have messaged me saying it's the most beautiful gift they received. Nothing else comes close."
"We ordered an Indo-Portuguese style tile for our bungalow in Candolim. The quality is stunning — you can feel this is genuine hand-painted art, not some printed product. It feels like it belongs to Goa itself. Highly recommend."
Azulejos are traditional Portuguese hand-painted, tin-glazed ceramic tiles. The art form dates back over 500 years and was brought to Goa by the Portuguese. Each tile is painted by hand using cobalt oxide and fired in a kiln, making them waterproof and permanent. Read our complete guide →
