Fábrica de Cerâmica da Viúva Lamego, Ceramic factory in Anjos, Portugal

The Viúva Lamego ceramic factory occupies a two-story building decorated with nineteenth-century figurative tiles created by artist Luís Ferreira on its exterior walls.

Founded between 1849 and 1865 by António da Costa Lamego, the factory received its current name after the death of its founder, continuing its ceramic production legacy.

The factory facade displays allegoric figures representing Commerce and Industry, reflecting the Portuguese traditional ceramic craftsmanship through detailed artistic compositions.

While the exhibition and sales space remains at the original location, the manufacturing operations have relocated to Abrunheira in Sintra since 1992.

During the 1930s, the factory initiated collaborations with visual artists, integrating their creations into tile production using manual manufacturing techniques.
