Vista Alegre – TREASURES – Sugar Bowl

Description

Founded in 1824, the Vista Alegre Porcelain Factory was the first industrial unit dedicated to producing porcelain in Portugal. The first Atlantis crystal pieces were produced in the town of Alcobaça in 1972, at a factory known at the time as Crisal – Cristais de Alcobaça (Alcobaça Crystals). This factory, which followed the old traditional Portuguese glassworking techniques, was already known for producing some of the best handmade lead crystal pieces in the world. In the 21st century, Atlantis continues to affirm its presence in the main international markets and to be universally recognised as the manufacturer of one of the purest crystals in the world, combining traditional knowledge with the best in contemporary design.
