Alemania is Spanish for "Germany". I am confused....  is this German or Spanish? I cant find any reference to this maker at all. Were your parents German by chance? Only thing I can say for sure is they are not handpainted :)  Still researching this one, it might be one of the tiny  potters in Germany that were not in business long or changed names.

The set was a wedding gift at a ceremony in Mexico.  Although, my grandfather's parents were from Germany.  The set might be from Germany, Spain, or Mexico (?).

I found several things by this maker online for sale all in Uruguay. I wonder if the German potter sent this line there, interesting. Sorry I cant help much more.
