Beautiful coffee set consisting of a coffee pot, milk jug, 4 cups and 4 plates from the 1950s, being an iconic piece of porcelain that represents an essential part of the rich history of ceramics in the Sargadelos region, located in Galicia, Spain. To understand the meaning behind the name and symbol of the dolmen, it is essential to delve into the history of porcelain in Sargadelos and the influence of culture and tradition on its production. Sargadelos is known for its ceramic factory founded in 1806 by Antonio Raimundo Ibáñez. The Sargadelos factory stood out for producing high-quality porcelain with advanced techniques, which made it one of the main references in Spanish ceramics. One of the most distinctive aspects of Sargadelos is the so-called "eggshell porcelain", characterized by its thinness, lightness and subtle shine, which made it highly appreciated in its time. The "dolmen" symbol on the Castro Sargadelos Dolmen coffee set has a deep cultural and archaeological meaning and was added to the best pieces of the factory in deference to historical monuments that are part of the cultural and archaeological heritage of Galicia and represent the connection with the ancestral past and tradition. The Castro Sargadelos Dolmen coffee set from the 1950s incorporates the beauty of porcelain and the originality of its design based on backgrounds of red lines and polka dots, thus fusing the cultural and artistic heritage of the region into a work of art. functional. Regarding the initials "FR" signed on the plates, it is likely that they refer to the name or initials of the artist or designer responsible for creating the design of the plates. In short, this piece is not only a testament to the artistic talent and mastery of Sargadelos porcelain production, but also a connection to the past and history of the Galician region.
