This porcelain factory ‘Sociedade de Porcelanas de Coimbra’ was founded in 1922. It is known for the use of the mark Coimbra SP. They produced mass production table ware. Their customers were mainly hotels and restaurants.
In the 1930s the porcelain from Portugal was very popular in Europe. Coimbra SP was not a big company. Competitor Vista Alegra was the biggest company in Coimbra to export porcelain. Portuguese porcelain was always better, cleaner, more durable and more beautiful. But it was also expensive and therefore not easily accessible to everyone. In the 1950s the business experienced a downturn and was purchased by Vista Alegre. Shortly after the merge with Vista Alegre, Coimbra SP produced products for export with the brand Vista Alegre. SP closed the doors in 2005.
