Description
This ceramic mug was designed and produced by Secla, in Portugal, during the 1970’s. Rare mug, in a circular shaped body, decorated in relief with geometric, floral motifs and stylized plant scrolls. Beautiful violet color with a design that resembles the Portmeirion or Quistgaard. It is in original condition, with no chips or cracks. Marked “Secla” below.
Created in 1947 in Caldas da Rainha, a city with a long ceramic tradition, Secla established itself from the beginning as an innovative company, investing in modern production and giving priority to design. Its founder, Joaquim Pinto Ribeiro, had a habit of challenging artists and architects to explore ideas in unique pieces and small series.
SECLA’s products were exported to several countries around the world, in particular to the USA, England, Germany and France. In addition to tableware, kitchenware and oven (ovenware), it also produced decorative tableware such as vases and jars, among other references. The factory closed in 2008.
