Description
Glazed tile of 20x15 cm inspired by the advertising tile “Algarve… e Schweppes”. Part of the collection of mini-replicas of old advertising tiles, all with similar dimensions.
Between 1956 and 1965, the Aleluia Factory in Aveiro produced advertising tile panels for the Schweppes soft drink company. The paintings make use of an extensive chromatic palette and do not contain any reference to the type of product they advertise, merely mentioning the brand through a slogan tailored for the south of the country – “Algarve… and Schweppes”. The compositions also include elements of the region, such as the characteristic rocks of the Algarve beaches.
