On
the banks of the river Erne, set right in the heart of the Fermanagh
lakeland lies Belleek, home of Ireland's oldest pottery. For more than
140 years this little village has been famous for its distinctive Parian
china. Today, as ever, Belleek holds a special place in the hearts of
china collectors over the world.
When
a customer purchases a piece of Belleek china they become the owner
of a truly original piece of Irish craftsmanship, made using materials
and techniques handed down from generation to generation. No two pieces
are ever the same. Every handle, flower, and brush stroke is lovingly
applied by hand to create the look and feel that is uniquely Belleek.
Regardless of size or cost, every piece is crafted with this same skill
and attention to detail.
Our reputation has been built on product excellence and only Belleek
of the highest quality is ever put on sale. Back in 1857 the pottery's
founder John Caldwell Bloomfield declared that any piece with even the
slightest flaw should be destroyed. This golden rule is still strictly
adhered to. In gift shops world-wide you'll find that there is only
one word to describe the quality of Belleek-perfection.
