Vista Alegre's "Kabuki" coupe shaped dinnerware and unique shaped serving pieces are the base for this Asian inspired collection. Deep blue images of Lotus blossoms on a crisp white porcelain background, set the mood for a unique dining experience. Inspired by a traditional form of Japanese theater, a serene Vista Alegre pattern of blossoms and waves lends your tabletop freshness. Born in a period of revolutions, Vista Alegre is a dream come true of José Ferreira Pinto Basto. Influenced by the success of the Marinha Grande glass factory, Pinto Basto decided to create a “porcelain, glass and chemical processes” factory. From 1832 on, the Factory intensified its work and concentrated on perfecting porcelain, reaching a golden period that culminated late in the XIXth century. The contribution from foreign artists such as Victor C. Rousseau was important, mainly for the creation of a painting school, still famous nowadays.There were very relevant facts during this period of Vista Alegre’s history such as the development of a social work; the introduction of golden decorations, landscape motifs and delicate flowers; the involvement in contests (Paris, Palácio de Cristal in Porto) and, finally, in 1880, the end of glass production. The patent authorising the operation of the Vista Alegre Factory was granted in 1824 by D. João VI, benefiting of “all graces, privileges and exceptions enjoyed, or to be enjoyed in the future, by the National Factories”. The, just five years later, Vista Alegre was granted the title of Royal Factory, to honor its art and industrial success.
