<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 493788, member: 2844&quot;]Welcome to the forum Tanarina.</p><p><br /></p><p>The date can be confusing, but as Debora said, it refers to the style. This is classic Portuguese pottery decorated in a 17th century style.</p><p>Frazarte was a pretty recent company, and not at the top end of the scale, but they made nice ceramics. Because they also accomodated tours of the factory, more of their ceramics ended up overseas than of the other manufacturers.</p><p>Maybe their factory had to close because there were older firms making better quality ceramics, but that is just speculation. Portugal&#039;s economy took a blow from the recession, so they were not the only factory to close.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is very likely your lovely set was signed by Frazarte painter Joao while tourist Nellie was visiting the Frazarte factory. A nice personal touch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
