Porcelain dish with shamrock design by Belleek Pottery

This small porcelain dish was produced by Belleek Pottery, one of Ireland's oldest and most prestigious pottery manufacturers established in 1857 in County Fermanagh. The piece features Belleek's signature delicate white porcelain with hand-painted green shamrocks and Celtic trinity knots (or triquetra), which are traditional Irish symbols. Belleek pieces are highly collectible for their exceptional craftsmanship, distinctive cream-colored porcelain, and iconic Irish motifs. Collectors particularly value these shamrock-decorated pieces for their cultural significance as representations of Irish heritage and craftsmanship. The shamrock design has been one of Belleek's most enduring and popular patterns since the late 19th century, appealing to both serious porcelain collectors and those with Irish ancestry seeking connection to their heritage.
