Where can you buy Decma Pottery made in Portugal?

The only stores in US that sell Portuguese Pottery on a large scale is Homegoods, TJMAX and Marshalls, but this is usually hit or miss as they often do not carry anything for a long period of time. You usually have to hoard the whole set right away because you might never see it again! Or you have to end up travelling to 6 different stores to find what you are looking for (to make sets, pairs, etc) I have never heard of Decma, but I've seen Bordallo Pinheiro, Olfaire, Molde, Vestal brands usually. Apart from that you would have to travel to a City with a large Portuguese population, (I.E. Newark, NJ, Fall River, MA, New Bedford, MA and go into the Portuguese shops, but then again that might be hit or miss too. Keep in mind, with the Euro and the economy, many things are no longer imported due to the cost. The only other thing that comes to mind is to look on ebay.
