Mid Century Belleek Basket weave And Shamrock Open Sugar Dish

No call outs! Great condition. Belleek Pottery, established in 1857 in Belleek, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, is renowned for its distinctive Parian china, characterized by its translucent, ivory-like finish and intricate designs. The company gained international acclaim for its delicate, handcrafted pieces, often inspired by nature, such as the iconic shamrock motif.

This particular sugar bowl features Belleek's signature basket-weave texture, a technique that mimics woven wicker, and is adorned with applied shamrocks, a symbol deeply associated with Ireland. The green backstamp visible in the image is characteristic of Belleek's production from the mid-20th century, specifically between 1946 and 1965, indicating its period of manufacture.
