Antiques -- Along both sides of the narrow Rua de São José in the Graça District are treasure troves of shops packed with antiques from all over the world. Antiques dealers from the United States come here to survey the wares. You'll find ornate spool and carved beds, high-back chairs, tables, wardrobes with ornate carving, brass plaques, copper pans, silver candelabra, crystal sconces, chandeliers, and a wide selection of wooden figures, silver boxes, porcelain plates, and bowls. But don't count on getting spectacular bargains.

Baskets -- One of the best selections of Portuguese baskets is at the Feira da Ladra. Another good outlet is Centro do Turismo e Artesanato.

Porcelain -- Many stores in Lisbon sell Portuguese porcelain -- notably the landmark Fábrica Viúva Lamego. Deposito da Marinha Grande carries a good selection of Vista Alegre porcelain.

Sweaters -- The vendors at the Feira da Ladra marketplace sell a wide selection of Portuguese sweaters. You can also check out the selection at Centro do Turismo e Artesanato. Casa Bordados da Madeira carries a fine selection of Nazaré-style fisher's sweaters.
