ALELUIA (Portugal)

My first post is about ALELUIA a factory located in Aveiro, that was born in 1905.
Here are some pieces from the 1950s showing hand painted geometric patterns in orange, black and iridescent light yellow.

Sorry I have not uploaded the pictures correctly.
Here it is a vase 22cm high:









A pot 20cm high:





And a very small mug:

Here we have a few more vases made by ALELUIA during the 50s. They all have the same factory mark as the ones I posted before.

This one is 13,5cm high



22cm high



20cm high decorated with the typical ALELUIA iridescent light yellow and blue.

This extremely organic shape was produced with different designs, all of them hand painted.
Here we have a tipical 50s theme: card suits

From the same range with embossed Hearts.
15 cm

I don't know if it was meant to be an ashtray.
It was produced during the 50s and we can see the Aleluia sticker used in the 50s and 60s.
About 13 cm long.

After 1955, Aleluia's 50th Anniversary, the factory mark was renewed. The traditional mark, used since the 20s, was replaced by the geometric logo that can be found in the 60s pieces.

Hi, I have recently obtained a piece of Aleluia Pottery and was wondering if anyone could give me any insight into it or whether it is collectable?
I would appreciate any help, Thanks.

I thought I had put up a picture earlier, hope it works this time.

Hi, I didnt buy it, it was given to me by an old family member. I had always admired it as a child and she told me it was special but I just loved the bright colours!!! Have tried to find other pieces but to no avail im afraid. I know very little about it but would love to find out the age and history etc.

Hi,
your vase is shape 741, pattern A (base markings), if it's 20cm high.
It was made in the late 50's.

Hi, thank you very much for the information, its perfect!! Base markings are 741 A and its approx 20 cm in height. Are they collectable or sought after at all? I really like the piece, very bright and colourful but feel it may be wasted on me somewhat.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
I don't think these are collectable or sought after in the UK, because there isn't any information available about them.
In Portugal, Aleluia is very collectable.
