Margão Porcelain Tea Cup and Saucer by Vista Alegre

Blue floral sprigs scatter across the Margão porcelain teacup and saucer. The low cup and matching saucer bring a familiar blue-and-white pattern to an unhurried tea service.

“I would pair this little floral cup with plain linen, allowing the scattered blue sprigs to remain the lightest detail on the tray.”
-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.
