Manufacturers: Vista Alegre Portugal, Ílhavo, Portugal


Vortex presents a genuine challenge to porcelain production, taking it to the limit of what is possible. Three largescale decorative pieces, which would normally consist of several glued parts, make up a single element modelled in biscuit, subsequently polished by hand, capturing the rotational force of its energy. A work of great ingenuity and technical complexity.
