Here we have a beautiful small milk jug in a rare design by Belleek circa late 19th century to first quarter of the 20th century (1896 to 1926).
This piece is marked with the Second Black Mark, which was used circa 1896 to 1926.
Beautiful thinly hand-potted feel, this is an elegant design which lets the renowned lustre and delicacy of Belleek porcelain shine through.
Details to note include the harp handle, shamrock border and trefoil-shaped rim; this pattern was used circa the late 19th century and is a particularly rare design.
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.
