Sophisticated, vintage-inspired collection As its name suggests, the Cristal collection is inspired by the rich patterns found in the most sublime crystal craftsmanship. This tactile and sophisticated collection stands out from the ordinary and makes an impressive appearance on the table. With its beautiful reactive finish, CRISTAL NACAR is inspired by the sophisticated yet natural colors of beach shells.

This plate is inspired by the flora of the world’s largest tropical forest. The colors of the plants and flowers, and the exotic shapes and textures of their seeds and fruit, are an endless source of inspiration perfectly expressed by the pieces brought by Casa Alegre to this unique project.

The love of life, family, friends and good food has inspired COSTA NOVA to create fine stoneware collections that combine quality and design with the best in ceramic craftsmanship. The brand produces innovative and sustainable stoneware, made from the best natural resources in Portugal. We embrace "handmade" and preserve our European heritage in the manufacture of our stoneware collections, bringing to the table and to the home unique and elegant pieces that suit perfectly in today’s way of living and are able to last for generations. COSTA NOVA was born in a small Portuguese fishing village, near the Atlantic Ocean. Nowadays, carrying Portugal's name and heritage all over the world COSTA NOVA is present across the 5 continents, in prestigious department stores and boutiques, hotels and renowned restaurants. Using the best natural resources in Portugal, COSTA NOVA products are made in a single firing system heated up to 1180 degrees C (2160 degrees F) which creates a unique ceramic body with a special bonding between the clay and the glazed surface. This original formula explains why our stoneware is so durable and resistant to both thermal and mechanical shocks. In addiction, our team of designers, technicians, modelers and craftsmen are constantly developing original shapes and colors, all the way to truly unique designed and handcrafted pieces. COSTA NOVA sees its products and operations as part of a long-life cycle and is committed to taking better care of the community and of the world. The effort to go green and to minimize our impact on the environment is (always) a work in progress. As producers, we commit ourselves daily to protect the environment, avoiding unnecessary harm through the resources we use and the products we manufacture.

The Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company is owned by one of the world's most respected ceramic brands, Steelite International, which has its headquarters in the English 'Potteries'. It employs 200 skilled craftspeople and manufactures the highest quality English Fine Bone China at its factory on a four and a half-acre site at Osmaston Road, in Derby, England. The Company produces bone china tableware, giftware, and collectibles. The Company also runs a popular Visitor Centre at Osmaston Road, providing factory tours, museum, factory shop and restaurant. The present factory was established in 1878 but the business traces its origins to the original factory which was set up in Nottingham Road in about 1750. Queen Victoria granted permission to include the title "Royal" in the company name in 1890.

Contemporary, but maintaining the country trait of an original draw from Bordallo, Maria Flor is an ostentatious spring inspiration line, in the jug without a handle, manual painting and many techniques in each of the flowers.
