The image captures the exterior of a ceramic tile shop located in Sintra, specifically within the area encompassing Santa Maria e São Miguel, São Martinho e São Pedro de Penaferrim, Portugal. The building features a light pink stucco facade extensively decorated with traditional Portuguese azulejos. Above the central, open doorway, a decorative frieze composed of blue and yellow tiles depicts cherubs and a central urn, with the numeral "11" prominently displayed beneath. To the immediate left of the doorway, a large blue and white tile panel portrays a building, possibly a castle or palace, against a sky with birds. Below this, a rectangular tile sign reads "CERAMICA DE SINTRA" and features a crest. Further below are two smaller white tile signs, "REI" and "D FERNANDO II". A vertical multi-tile panel depicting blue floral motifs in a vase is positioned to the right of these smaller signs. Below "CERAMICA DE SINTRA," another multi-tile panel displays a vibrant floral arrangement in a basket with yellow and pink blossoms. A dark metal lantern is mounted on the pink wall to the left of the doorway, above a small white sign that reads, "OS TRABALHOS EXPOSTOS SAO PINTADOS A MÃO / THE WORKS ON DISPLAY ARE HAND PAINTED / PRODUCED IN SINTRA". To the right of the doorway, a large azulejo panel featuring blue and yellow ornate patterns with figures is visible, partially obscured by merchandise displays. A small white sign with blue text in front of a plant pot states, "CERAMICA DE SINTRA ORIGINAL PORTUGUESE HANDPAINTED TILES". The shop's entrance features two angled display units holding numerous smaller tiles or magnets. A wooden sign adjacent to these displays is marked "Hand Painted" with the numbers "0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9". The door threshold is decorated with a band of small, colorful floral tiles. The shop's interior, visible through the open door, appears dimly lit and also lined with tiles. On the cobblestone pavement in front of the shop, a white display board leans against the lower wall, exhibiting various individual tiles with different patterns and featuring bilingual text: "UNICOS NO MUNDO AZULEJOS ORIGINAIS PINTADOS A MAO COMO A AGUARELA / WORLD'S UNIQUE ORIGINAL LIKE WATERCOLOUR HAND PAINTING IN TILES". Below this display, two wooden crates filled with loose tiles are placed on the ground. To the right of the entrance steps, a small white statue of a boy wearing a straw hat stands on a pedestal. A dark brown planter containing a green plant is positioned next to the statue. The ground is paved with traditional Portuguese cobblestones arranged in a mosaic pattern. The top of the image shows a weathered tiled roofline.
