Iberica’s Heritage Enamel Plates: Timeless Vehicle Charm


For vehicle enthusiasts, collectors, and those with an eye for timeless design, enamel vehicle plates offer a unique blend of heritage craftsmanship and modern durability. At Iberica, we’re proud to bring you bespoke enamel vehicle plates, handcrafted in Portugal with a nod to classic European styling. These custom plates, alongside our iconic Portuguese cataplana, embody the artistry and tradition that define our brand. Whether you’re restoring a vintage car, customising a motorcycle, or simply seeking a distinctive touch for your vehicle, our enamel plates deliver unmatched charm and quality.
The Art of Enamel Vehicle Plates
Enamel vehicle plates have a storied history, harking back to the early 20th century when they adorned the roads of Europe. Their glossy, durable finish and bold designs made them a staple for vehicles of all kinds, from cars to bicycles. At Iberica, we’ve revived this tradition with our custom and bespoke enamel vehicle plates, meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in Portugal. Each plate is made to order, ensuring that your vision comes to life with precision and care.
Our enamel plates are crafted from high-grade steel and coated with vitreous enamel, fired at an impressive 800°C. This process creates a scratch-resistant, rust-resistant surface that stands the test of time. Unlike modern embossed plates, our heritage-style plates feature a flat finish, giving them an authentic retro aesthetic. Whether you’re a vintage car collector or a design-conscious driver, these plates add a touch of European elegance to any vehicle.

Beyond Plates: The Portuguese Cataplana
While our enamel vehicle plates are a standout offering, Iberica is also renowned for bringing the essence of Portuguese craftsmanship to your kitchen with the Portuguese cataplana. This traditional copper or stainless steel cooking vessel, shaped like a clamshell, is a cornerstone of Portuguese cuisine. Used to create rich, flavorful seafood stews and other dishes, the cataplana is both a functional cookware piece and a conversation starter.
Like our enamel plates, the Portuguese cataplana reflects Iberica’s commitment to heritage and quality. Handcrafted in Portugal, it’s a must-have for food enthusiasts looking to elevate their culinary creations with authentic tools. Explore our collection at Iberica to discover how the cataplana can bring a taste of Portugal to your table.

Our enamel vehicle plates are more than just accessories—they’re a statement. Whether you’re restoring a classic Vespa, customising a motorcycle, or adding flair to a modern car, these plates offer a timeless appeal. They’re also a favorite among collectors, with options for retro-style Vespa plates, European bicycle plates, and other bespoke designs available upon request.
For those passionate about vintage vehicles, our plates provide an authentic touch that complements the character of your ride. The flat, non-embossed finish and customisable features make them versatile enough to suit any style, from minimalist to ornate. Plus, their durability ensures they’ll remain a striking feature for years to come.
