Brief History of Belleek: Established in 1857 in the village of Belleek, County Fermanagh, Ireland, the Belleek Pottery is one of the longest-running and most renowned porcelain manufacturers in the world. Its beginnings were marked by the discovery of rich clay deposits in the region, and with the involvement of skilled artisans, the pottery soon gained international acclaim.
Belleek is particularly known for its signature Parian china, a type of bisque porcelain that is both strong and translucent, allowing for intricate designs and delicate craftsmanship. Over the years, Belleek pieces have been prized by collectors, with certain marks or labels (such as the brown one) helping to date and authenticate items. The craftsmanship, uniqueness, and heritage of Belleek items have cemented its place in ceramic history, making it a sought-after brand by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
