Vista Alegre (Ílhavo)
A Portuguese porcelain maker founded in Ílhavo by royal licence in 1824, with a company museum that opened in 1964.
What we have checked
- The official Vista Alegre site has a Museu Vista Alegre section with pages for visiting and for its programme. Source
- The company’s own history gives a royal licence from João VI dated 1 July 1824, and says the museum opened in 1964. Source
Reported, not yet confirmed
- We could not open the official heritage record for the factory, and sources differ on some later dates; the essay on Vista Alegre says which.
