A set of six porcelain tea cups and saucers from the Rainhas de Portugal collection by Vista Alegre — each piece a tribute to one of the six queens who define this collection: Inês de Castro, Rainha Santa Isabel, D. Maria II, D. Amélia, D. Estefânia and D. Leonor. Designed by Hélia Aluai, each cup carries the red and gold filigree-inspired decoration that makes this collection instantly recognisable.
The Rainhas de Portugal collection by Vista Alegre pays homage to six enchanting queens from Portugal's history — Inês de Castro, Rainha Santa Isabel, D. Maria II, D. Amélia, D. Estefânia and D. Leonor. Fascinating and complex figures portrayed with great sensitivity by designer Hélia Aluai, inspired by delicate filigree work, a typically Portuguese ornamental technique. The colours chosen — red and gold — express the passion associated with these women, as well as the cultural richness they evoke.
