Precious Crown of Our Lady of Fátima
Apart from its unquestionable value, the precious Crown of Our Lady of Fátima owns a deep symbolic meaning. It contains a non-precious element: the bullet of the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. Definitely, the most important piece treasured by the Shrine of Fátima.

200 years of Vista Alegre
On July 1st 1824, the visionary entrepreneur José Ferreira Pinto Basto founded the porcelain factory Vista Alegre, putting into motion a true revolution. In 2024, this world-acclaimed Portuguese brand celebrates 200 years of a deeply rich History, filled with the most inspiring stories. Long gone are the days when the porcelain articles were transported by camels to its clients, so that they could arrive safe and not in pieces. But the brand has preserved its founding soul. Faithful to a memorable past. Eager to the future.

Vista Alegre as a revolutionary social project
José Ferreira Pinto Basto, the founder of Vista Alegre factory, understood that a highly motivated and respected working force was absolutely crucial for the success of the company. Back in 1824, when he opened the first porcelain factory in Portugal, he created a true community, a place where workers could be educated but also entertained. A working community that soon became a big family. Throughout the centuries.
