I found a set of 6-8 bowl in an 18th century home we bought in the Azores Islands, Portugal. They are old soup bowls some in GREAT condition and others not so great but they are well used at a minimum.
I can't find too much about the manufacturer on line.... F Primagera, Aveiro is the inscription on the back.
The bowl is pretty thick... this particular one has a slight crack but still appears to be perfectly usable.
Anyone who knows anything about the company or the bowls would LOVE to know more about them.
Thanks
They are still in business, and according to the official website,they have been in business since 1974, so an antique of the future?

Sorry the link isn’t working!
well I have a book and the wings around A set of initials and as youve probaly noticed not alot of those wings lol this mark is not same but I bet same maker maybe later or earlier stamp. is described as Berlin,Germany 1823-32 so i would go with german the markings of wings no matter how exact can change.
It is definitely made by Faience Primagera of Portugal. The “wings” you refer to is called a wreath. There are hundreds of marks with a crown and wreath, but yours already has the company name on it, so no more searching is needed
