Description: You are purchasing a: Belleek of Ireland Porcelain Parian China Killarney FLORAL VASE Creamy eggshell Hand painted Embossed Floral Gold Brown Belleek mark - 1980-1992 5" h, 4¾" diameter great condition Actual item photographed - questions...please ask before purchase Belleek Pottery, Fermanage Belleek Pottery was founded 156 years ago by John Caldwell Bloomfield of Castlecaldwell Estate in an attempt to alleviate the plight of his tenant farmers in the aftermath of the famine of 1845. Having discovered the raw materials, kaolin clay, feldspar, etc. on his land he then acquired two partners Armstrong and McBirney from Dublin. He tempted 14 master craftsmen over from Stoke on Trent in England to produce the highly crafted parian china masterpieces that made Belleek into the international known brand it is today. All the pieces are still handwoven in clay and decorated with handmade flowers (an apprenticeship takes 3 years) before being painted and finished off with an offical trademark stamp which is sealed onto the piece accompanied by the painters initials. So each individual piece can take several days to produce and will possibly have being handled by at least 6-10 highly talend craftspeople which results in the extra special personal input that you are never going to get from a regular mass produced factory piece.
