ชีวประวัติ:

Porcelanas Bidasoa was a Spanish ceramics and porcelain company based in Irun, Gipuzkoa. The company was founded in 1935 by two brothers, Pablo and Gabino Otxotekoa, who had experience in the European porcelain industry. They were joined by investors Salvador Etxeandia Gil and Jose Maria Berastegi Etxebarria. The first factory was built in 1936 but was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. After the war, the company was rebuilt with the help of technicians from Limoges and a new investor, Luso Española de Porcelanas S.A., also known as Lepsa. Manuel Barbadillo designed a series of ceramics for the company in 1962. The company experienced growth until the 1990s when market competition increased and debts mounted. In 2009, the company went bankrupt. During its existence, Porcelanas Bidasoa collaborated with many artists, including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí, to create unique collections.
