Vista Alegre's "Carre White" is designed for today's casual lifestyle. Carre White is the perfect addition to the dining table. Generous sizes in square and rectangular pieces can be mixed with Spirit White porcelain dinnerware for a unique tablesetting. 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.
