Does anyone know about this pottery - stamp says made in Portugal and the cups have different numbers stamped then the jug/saucers etc.

If that says SECLA then it stands for 'Sociedade de Expotacao e Ceramica,Lda' excuse my Portuguese,from the 1950's a pottery studio that exported most of it's produce ;D

Great.  It does say SECLA. So it's from the 1950's then?
I may google it and see if I can find out more.
Cheers Keith.

From meaning 1950 onwards,don't know if they're still going ;D ;D,they look very 1970's to me,reminds me of Portmerion ware.

It looks very 1970s rather than 1950s to me too to be honest. It seems that SECLA started in 1947 - see the 20th Century Forum for a whole topic about SECLA pottery: http://fatlava.forummotion.com/t6885-secla-portugal with images of other SECLA pieces.
