Sant'Anna Plate, Handpainted, Artist Signed, dated 1957, Portugal, Bird scene

Description

Presented by Gin-For's Odditiques
Sant'Anna  Plate with Bird Decoration
Talk about a success story.  The Sant'Anna factory has been in business in Lisbon since the 18th century.....and despite a few decades in antiques, I never heard of it before finding a pair of delightful plates.   Good thing learning is fun, and if you're like me and not previously familiar with the company, I hope you enjoy the discovery as much as I have.
This plate is hand made and hand painted with a bird image.  In addition to the company mark, the plate is artist signed and dated 1957.  It will make a striking and unusual addition to someone's collection.
Diameter is about 9".
Condition is excellent with no damage and no repairs.  Our guarantee is simple.  If you don't like it when you open the box, send it back, and we'll refund your purchase price plus original shipping.  You pay return shipping.  If we messed up in the description in some significant way, then we pay return shipping as well.
These days, Paypal is about the easiest payment method around and the one eBay mostly pushes. We remain generally open to the buyer's needs. No Monopoly money, nothing printed up in your basement, no chickens, etc., but otherwise we're fairly flexible. If we can put it in the bank without anyone getting in a tizzy, we'll probably take it.
If you have any questions, just get in touch.  I can answer any question.....as long as you keep in mind that "I don't know" is an answer.   We pack with plenty of bubble wrap and peanuts and prefer to use Priority Mail.  Again, we're open to options if needed.  My joints may not be so flexible anymore, but our service can still bend to suit your needs....with some limits, of course.
What's "Gin-For"?  Strictly medicinal purposes.  It also stands for Ginny and Forrest, and Odditiques is oddities and antiques.  I wanted top billing, but For-Gin didn't seem quite right in the antiques game.  Hope you've enjoyed seeing the vase and maybe got a chuckle, too.  No extra charge for chuckles, giggles, or smiles.
