ALELUIA (Portugal)

Post by R.Ferrao on Fri May 27, 2011 8:03 pm

My first post is about ALELUIA a factory located in Aveiro, that was born in 1905.
Here are some pieces from the 1950s showing hand painted geometric patterns in orange, black and iridescent light yellow.

I'm glad you find it interesting. I thought more of West Germany and Italy 50s pottery as an influence.

Fish

Post by R.Ferrao on Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:16 pm

I don't know if it was meant to be an ashtray.
It was produced during the 50s and we can see the Aleluia sticker used in the 50s and 60s.
About 13 cm long.

After 1955, Aleluia's 50th Anniversary, the factory mark was renewed. The traditional mark, used since the 20s, was replaced by the geometric logo that can be found in the 60s pieces.

Vase from the early 60s
34 cm







The new logo.
