Conventual Crystal Serving Bowl, 8" by Vista Alegre
Just as traditional Portuguese pastry dates back centuries, with its probable origins in 16th century convents and monasteries, the manufacturing of the purest crystal also lies in the distant past. And just like pastry, whose secrets and mastery have been passed down from generation to generation, crystal obeys techniques that are still used today by master glassmakers, heirs to an ancestral lineage of skilled craftsmen. Thus, it 1s by their hands that the Conventual collection is born, made up of a salad bowl, a serving bowl and a small bowl, which are perfect for serving the delicacies they evoke, giving them a special shine and aura.

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.
