Nasco trivet from Spain
« on: May 19, 2011, 11:50:25 pm »
I have a round tile or ceramic trivet which has cork on the bottom and sits in a gold tone frame.  On the bottom is stamped NASCO MADE IN SPAIN.  Can anyone tell me anything about it?  My mother says it is from 1890's but it looks newer to me.

Thanks! You are both a great help.  I suspected something like that. Now to break it to Mom...  It is a family piece that I am trying to track the history on.  Yes, obviously Mom was remembering wrong.  So I have to try to find a way to ask her to try to remember some more about it without making her feel bad.  :)
Do you think there any way to find out more about the company, like what stores sold their products?  Are they the same company that makes the products from Japan? I haven't been able to find out anything about them on the internet.

NASCO was a brand/product that was produced in Japan and imported in the US.  All sorts of pottery pieces.

So did they have a factory in  Spain? I imagine in the 50 - 60's it would have been a good place with fairly cheap labour.
