SECLA was an artistic pottery workshop established in Caldas da Rainha in 1947, known for its creative and innovative designs. This style of hand-painted ceramic pheasant dish was popular from the mid-20th century, particularly the 1960s and 70s, during which SECLA exported much of its production to the USA and UK. It would make a unique addition to any collection of vintage serveware .
