Belleek - Irish Porcelain and Pottery

Did you know?   Belleek is a picturesque village situated on the banks of Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is renowned throughout the world for being the home of some of the world's finest parian china, produced in the local pottery.  Lying on the River Erne in County Fermanagh, Belleek is the most westerly village in Northern Ireland and is bordered by County Donegal in the Irish Republic. Belleek's main attraction is its picturesque location.  Today, Belleek is a quiet border village with many thriving and enterprising businesses. The area continues to develop and maintains great potential for further expansion.   The Belleek Pottery has a history going back as far as 1857 and its Belleek China is now known throughout the world as fine quality parian china. It is one of the longest running businesses in Ireland and has recently seen some more modern pieces added to its collection. You are now just as likely to see Belleek China pieces in modern home design as in the more traditional setting it has become familiar with. A visit to Belleek would not be complete without a visit to the Belleek Pottery shop where Belleek China is now on fine display in fine surroundings for the viewer to see. Belleek China is 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. Only pieces of the highest quality are ever put on sale. Belleek China was founded in 1857 by John Caldwell Bloomfield who declared that any piece with even the slightest flaw should be destroyed.  More than 140 years later, this golden rule is still adhered to.  The result ... perfection.
