Criaçao Do Mundo Porcelain Centerpiece by Vista Alegre
A contemporary interpretation of the passage from the Book of Genesis, on the creation of the world in seven days. This centrepiece is divided into two distinct parts. On the front you have a representation of God in the centre, surrounded by the six days of the Creation of the World. The back of the piece is decorated with the transcripts from the Bible, in Latin, referring to each of the days, duly numbered, up to seven.
The illustrations, on the front of the piece, are delimited by a horizon line, so as to strengthen the duplicity of the mythical elements: light and darkness; night and day; the skies and the seas; the birds and fish, which, as a whole, form a sphere representing the world.

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.
