Cambridge Porcelain Soup Plate by Vista Alegre

The Cambridge porcelain soup plate combines a recessed center with a fine navy-and-gold rim. Its quiet pattern brings continuity to a multi-course setting while preserving a clear surface around the soup.

“I like a soup plate that belongs to the service without overwhelming the first course; this narrow border strikes that balance.”
-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.
