Here we have a lovely antique teacup trio by Belleek in a shamrock basketweave pattern.
They are marked with the Second Black Mark, which was used circa 1896 to 1926. We believe this to be late 19th century as it is a particularly elegant design which lets the renowned lustre and delicacy of Belleek porcelain shine through. Belleek as a company was founded in its namesake in Northern Ireland, 1884. The unique mineral deposits there helped form the signature Belleek glaze and its fine, almost translucent quality of porcelain.
Price marked at AUD$350 for the set of 3.
Measurements of: 8cm cup diameter, 13.5cm saucer dia., 16cm cake plate diameter, 7.5 cm total height.
Excellent antique condition. Only mild wear commensurate with age, and light wear to glaze on saucer.
