1824 Whisky Decanter by Vista Alegre
Vista Alegre's 200th anniversary commemorative Whisky Decanter is symbolically named 1824, the year the brand was founded. This piece features several elements alluding to the brand's history, starting with the neck engraved in gold and indicating the 200th anniversary. Another element that stands out is the first Vista Alegre logo, engraved in bas-relief on the top of the stopper. On the perimeter of the bottle, each of the ten cut segments corresponds to a period of 20 years, making the sum of all these units the 200 years being commemorated. The decoration of 1824 reinterprets the motifs found in the Vista Alegre Museum and created in the 19th century by Master Gustave Fortie.

About the Company:
The Vista Alegre porcelain factory was founded in 1824, in Ílhavo, part of the Aveiro district (near the sea, in central Portugal). The company was the product of the heart and mind of a 19th century Portuguese entrepreneur and visionary, João Ferreira Pinto Basto. Throughout its history, the Vista Alegre brand has been closely linked to the cultural life of Portugal, though it has maintained a high level of international renown as well, exporting its products to more than 60 countries. Their products are used in some of Europe's finest hotels and restaurants.
