The Machado side of the family is quite large. Great-grandfather Guilherme Augusto Machado and his wife Antónia had 8 children that we know of. Some of these 8 also had large families and so on. The Machados still alive today are many and dispersed over 3 continents: Europe, North America and Australia. This porcelane plate is the work of Ugolina Baptista, a cousin has researched the Machado family coat of arms. Machado means axe which explains its prominent representation on the coat of arms.
