AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant pair of small rectangular ashtrays and pocket-emptying trays in fine white porcelain, made by the historic and renowned Portuguese manufacturer Vista Alegre (founded in 1824).
Both pieces feature a refined elongated octagonal shape and celebrate the historic ties between Portugal and the Orient through trade by the Companhia das Índias.
Details of the Decorations:
Model "Cane di Fo" (Imari Style): Centers on the mythological guardian lion (Cane di Fo) in gold and ferric red tones, framed by an elegant geometric cobalt-blue wave border (Seigaiha) and finished with fine gold gilding.
Flora Model (Pink Family Style): A celebration of peonies and palmate leaves in shades of pink, green, and tobacco orange, enriched with gold veins, echoing the classic 18th-century export Chinese motifs.
Today these objects, in addition to their original function, are perfect as elegant entrance catchalls, night-time jewelry holders, or as refined display elements for European porcelain collectors.
