Rare Hand Painted Coimbra Porcelain Portugal

Rare hand painted signed porcelain from Portugal. Beautifully done by hand in the XV11 style and signed by the artist. Minor wear and chip on lid (barely visible). Sold as a set as is. Coimbra, in the center of Portugal, has produced ceramics for many centuries and possesses the oldest written document (1145) related to national ceramics. The pottery of Coimbra represents the Eastern tradition - porcelains of China that were brought back by the sailors. Hand painted and no single piece is alike.
