Portugal on stamps

This set shows two typical handicraft products, spoons made of olive or box tree wood from the South of Portugal, and filigree from the North.

The stamps were designed by the Post Office Art Department, lithographed by the Mint on enamelled paper sheets of 5×10 stamps with perforation 12×12½ and a phosphor band, and circulated from 3 May 1976 to 31 December 1983.
