João Serigado - Alcobaça (Portugal)

...for today anyway: Does anyone recognise this?
I'm sure I've seen the signature/mark somewhere before but my addled brain refuses to cooperate. At least the pooter is playing ball today.

Anway, all suggestions (regards the id of this large plate) welcome. It's about 30cm across. One way up the mark seems to read STM while it's WS the other way round. Number is 134. Hope all this helps?

This was labelled French Art Deco, but it looks more 1960s to me. I said to the dealer I'd find out who it's by and get back to him.


Fairly certain that's foliage and a flower.


Sorry, it's a bit blurred. Even in focus I'm not sure what the pattern's supposed to be. May be the sun or a fish.



Monogram on the base. I think it's F d' S

Made by José Serigados, a potter from the north of Portugal.

Ah, mystery solved. Thank you!

You're welcome.

Usually these are not good news, portuguese pottery is not well known therefore it means it's not valuable.
We definitely have to work on this.

I've had this vase and have searched to find out what/who the markings are. Can anyone help?

I ask one of the mods to change the name of this thread to: João Serigado - Alcobaça (Portugal)

Because we found out the correct name and location of this potter.

Many thanks!

Done

Thanks Naomi
