<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 39334, member: 29"]Made by Ceramica Montalvan in Triana, which is a district of Seville. (It's actually the barrio which is traditionally gypsy. Full of proper flamenco bars. Fascinating, too. ) The factory closed in 2012: <a href="http://www.diariodesevilla.es/article/sevilla/1344900/la/industria/ceramista/agoniza/barrio/triana.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.diariodesevilla.es/article/sevilla/1344900/la/industria/ceramista/agoniza/barrio/triana.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.diariodesevilla.es/article/sevilla/1344900/la/industria/ceramista/agoniza/barrio/triana.html</a> . </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can read Spanish, you'll see the factory started in 1850. </p><p><br /></p><p>The image is indeed of the arms of Murcia.
