Topázio Casquinha
The company was founded in Porto in 1874 by José Manuel Ferreira Marques.
After his death, Gabriel and Silvestre Ferreira Marques took over the management of the company and founded the Topázio brand in 1934, in reference to topaz, their mother's favorite stone.
In the 1950s, Topázio manufactured the first products in silver and crystal which were very successful in all markets, followed by the first silver-plated products in the 1970s.
