Portuguese Odyssey Porcelain Coffee Cups and Saucers, Set of 4 by Vista Alegre
An inventive and colorful vision of Portugal's history in a set of four coffee cups. Monarchs, warriors, and explorers come together in unexpected and dynamic compositions. Kings and queens with rich robes and musical instruments, holy and lay figures, Christians and Moors, Celts and Romans, horses, storks and exotic animals, various symbols, turrets and the battlefield where swords are wielded all parade in a surreal frenzy that illustrates our multicultural journey of discoveries, passions, turmoil, and exploration. Among the green leaves, we can glimpse contemporary history with the carnations of Portuguese freedom and celebrate culture with the colors of the flag.

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.
