A delicate and unmistakably Irish porcelain set from the celebrated Belleek Pottery, featuring the iconic hand-painted shamrock motif and the finely ribbed shell-like form that made Belleek world-renowned.
This charming trio includes a teapot with lid, matching creamer, and teacup, all finished in Belleek’s signature luminous ivory glaze with softly raised shamrock detailing winding across the surface. The underside bears the coveted black Belleek mark with “Belfast,” dating the pieces to the early-to-mid 20th century (generally attributed to the 1926–1946 period), making this both a beautiful display set and a highly collectible example of Irish porcelain craftsmanship.
The forms are wonderfully sculptural: angular handles, flowing spouts, and gently fluted bodies that catch light beautifully against darker interiors or cabinet displays. The shamrock decoration gives the set a distinctly Irish character without overwhelming the refined elegance of the porcelain itself.
A beautiful acquisition for collectors of Belleek, Irish decorative arts, antique tea ware, or anyone drawn to finely made porcelain with strong historical character.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Some wear consistent with age. Light wear to bases and minor age-related marks present. The lid of the teapot has historical repairs.
Production Period: 1926–1946
Origin: Ireland
Dimensions:
Teapot: 21 × 12 × 13.5cm.
Tea Cup: 8 × 6 × 10.5cm.
