This exhibition explores the theme of 'vintage blue' earthenware, so called because of the shade of colour of its glaze. They were produced at the Miragaia Crockery Factory in Porto and date from between 1775 and 1822.

The museum organisation promotes the relationship between this collection and other decorative arts collections at the Soares dos Reis National Museum that predate the modern concept of design, valuing its contextualisation and interpretation with approaches to history and European plastic arts, namely Painting, Drawing and Engraving.
