Minos

Neoclassical gardens, with their quest for perfect balance, served as the theme for this Minos vase and center. On its bases, in porcelain and biscuit, are illustrated labyrinthine paths that not only represent frivolity and playfulness but are also a metaphor for life. They also represent a dialogue between earth and water through the combination of crystal and porcelain, decorated with an excellent hand-cutting work.

Bio Founded in 1824, the Vista Alegre Porcelain Factory was the first industrial unit dedicated to producing porcelain in Portugal.
The factory started by producing glassware and soapstone pottery, since the composition of porcelain clay was still unknown. In 1880, Vista Alegre ceased its glassware production to focus exclusively on porcelain.
Nowadays, Vista Alegre is more than an industrial unit. It is also part of the Portuguese heritage, boasting buildings of undeniable architectural interest, and a repository of social and artistic memories essential to the building of a Portuguese identity.
