It was in 1997 that the I Auction of Vista Alegre pieces was held, thus realizing a dream of more than 10 years. The success of this initiative was such that Vista Alegre decided to give it continuity, having already carried out ten editions of the Vista Alegre Auction.

These auctions are unprecedented events in the annals of the world's porcelain industry because no company has ever organized an auction exclusively composed of their own pieces. Only a brand with the reputation and prestige of Vista Alegre could embark in such a venture. Only pieces with seniority, quality, diversity and richness as the Vista Alegre ones could arouse such interest and attention from collectors and connoisseurs.

 

 

To prove this reality is the fact that Vista Alegre is the oldest Portuguese brand producing works of art and the one that best represents Portugal in the World, its objects being offered, from ancient times, to kings, presidents and other characters of great importance.

 

 

Vista Alegre is everywhere: from hotels and upscale restaurants to more modest houses, passing through the most important international circles and private collections. The brand has, in itself, the meaning of luxury, but its popularity is unique. The Factory is indelibly associated with the cultural, historical and heritage values that are deeply rooted throughout the Portuguese society.

 

 

The main purpose of these auctions is to allow thousands of collectors of objects in porcelain, crystal or glass of Vista Alegre, to complete and/or monetize their collection. The Vista Alegre Auctions allow one to confirm and quantify the value of Vista Alegre pieces that become real antiques few years after having been presented to the public. To buy VA is, in addition to the utility and immediate pleasure, a good investment, as it is a reference brand in the art world.
