Founded in 1824, the Vista Alegre Porcelain Factory was the first industrial unit dedicated to producing porcelain in Portugal. The factory started by producing glassware and soapstone pottery, since the composition of porcelain clay was still unknown. The factory produced high-quality glassware, particularly pieces with relief decorations, engraved patterns and ornate borders, as well as delicately engraved medallions. The collection introduced at CrystalPlus.com includes vases, bowls and drinkware; ideal for corporate gifts and celebration keepsakes for any special occasions. With custom engraving and personalization, this premium collection is one-of-a-kind treasure for lifetime value. *This collection is excluded from any sale promotions.
