Banda Azul Cobalto Porcelain Charger Plate by Vista Alegre
A broad cobalt band and fine gold detail give the Banda Azul Cobalto porcelain charger its decisive color. The open white center makes it a strong foundation for a layered place setting.
“I would repeat the cobalt in one other small detail, perhaps a napkin edge, and let the rest of the setting remain simple.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage
Founded in Ílhavo, Portugal, in 1824, Vista Alegre brings a living decorative tradition to the table. Its porcelain is glazed, fired and individually checked before decoration; the factory also maintains a specialist hand-painting workshop for selected artistic pieces. Collaborations with designers such as Oscar de la Renta and Sam Baron give that long history fresh expression, from finely drawn botanicals to architectural relief. It is this combination of technical care and imaginative decoration that gives the maker its distinctive range.
