Cheers both. It was a nice little find...

Hi, this is a Hansi Staël design for Secla.
Hand painted from an original by her.
I'll post some more designs later.

by **goyjus** Mon Jun 04, 2012 6:42 pm

Fantastic. So please to be able to identify it - thank you so much.

I'm not familiar with this design - would love to see some more pieces.

by **R.Ferrao** Mon Jun 04, 2012 7:02 pm

The original design was made between 1950 and 1957 and it's a part of a line called "Portuguese Motives", depicting traditional professions, like fisherman, fish sellers or fruit sellers.
These designs were reproduced until the 80's, at least.

Thank you so much for the additional information. I love the piece regardless but always good to know its history. I've googled the name and found some further pieces - really appreciate your post.

by **R.Ferrao** Mon Jun 04, 2012 7:06 pm

I'm curious,
where have you found it? Was it expensive?

by **R.Ferrao** Mon Jun 04, 2012 7:09 pm

You can also find a few pieces in my blog:

Although not very similar to yours, I'll post better ones as soon as I get home.

Great. Will take a look.

I didn't pay a great deal for it. It was a lucky find on the weekend. Saw it. Loved it. Bought it.

Hi Brin,
it's becoming increasingly difficult to find good pieces by Aleluia and when you find one, it's so expensive that you can't afford it.
I'm working on a research project about Aleluia, so I deal with absurd offers everyday. Shock

Thanks.

by **goyjus** Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:42 pm

Love these. Many thanks for posting. I will definitely keep my eyes open for some more. Is it hard to find?

by **R.Ferrao** Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:49 pm

They are not the most common thing but sometimes they appear in antique shops and auctions.

by **goyjus** Mon Jun 04, 2012 10:17 pm

Ok. Thanks!

Dear mods,
can you move all this info to the SECLA thread, please.
Thanks,
Rita

Rita...i feel goygus and i will be battling for the same things....i'm off to Sitges on Wednesday and will visit Barcelona...any hunting tips

by **R.Ferrao** Sun Jul 22, 2012 4:33 pm

Hi Brin,
I do like very much the work of Miguel Durán- Lóriga for Alfaraz ceramics, but I don't know if you can find some in Costa Brava.
Anyway they have lots of potteries on that region.
Good luck,
Rita

i'm still looking for Aleluia Sad

...Hoping for an Iberian crossover

by **R.Ferrao** Sun Jul 22, 2012 4:46 pm

It's going to be difficult.
As far as I know, Aleluia didn't export to Spain.
