Entering a Vista Alegre shop is also visiting part of the Portuguese heritage. Founded in 1824, the Fábrica de Porcelana da Vista Alegre was the first industrial unit dedicated to porcelain production in Portugal. From the outskirts of Ílhavo, it quickly gained national recognition, especially by the royal house. The brand never lost its identity, but also never lost its power of adaptation, following throughout its history the different artistic currents. At Vista Alegre you will find tableware, decorative, giftware and hotelware, high quality glass and crystal, and also stainless steel cutlery 18/10. They make wedding lists and customise products, among others.

Our philosophy is based on three pillars – differentiation for quality, careful customer service and permanent attention to market needs.

Mercado da Invicta is housed in an old space that was once a medieval convent, a Victorian showroom and an auto parts store. In 2016 it is reborn in the form of a collaborative market that houses several artisans in the city.
With rustic stones on the white walls and colorful mosaics in the central aisle, Mercado na Invicta is a beautiful space where the exquisite work of dozens of Porto artisans finds an ideal space to be shown. Visitors to this establishment will find a place where they can breathe the scent of Portuguese craftsmanship of proven quality and great authenticity.
