Literature
Viúva Lamego has been creating unique pieces since 1849, using traditional methods that embellish the world. Viúva Lamego, whose manufacturing facilities were originally located in the building where today is the shop open to the public, in Largo do Intendente, in Lisbon, initially produced utilitarian products (such as jars, etc) in red clay, and faience and tiles in white clay.

In the early 20th century, tiles were gaining importance and the production in red clay was ending. In the 30’s, Viúva Lamego began to work closely with renowned artists, who increasingly began to, at Viúva Lamego’s facilities, use the tile to express their creations.

The masters of Viúva Lamego continue to manufacture a wide range of tiles, always hand-painted, with particular emphasis on the execution of works conceived by artists, whilst developing new products, which perpetuate the integration of tiles in presente Architecture.
