Promoting over 160 years of craftsmanship, Belleek Pottery is located in the quaint village of Belleek in Co. Fermanagh on the banks of the River Erne. This Neo-Georgian building is home to Ireland’s oldest working fine china pottery. Established in 1857, Belleek Pottery holds a very special place in Ireland’s cultural and commercial heritage. They were producing more than 100,000 pieces of pottery annually, passing through 16 pairs of hands. The Belleek Group comprises world-renowned gift and tableware brands of Belleek Classic, Belleek Living, Galway Irish Crystal, and Aynsley China.

This basket has been made to represent a scalloped shell. The shell is a popular theme found in many pieces throughout Belleek Pottery’s history such as the many shell tableware patterns and ornate figurative pieces. All have been inspired by the Irish coastline found only a few miles from the pottery in Belleek.
