Belleek

Belleek Pottery Ltd began trading in August of 1884 as the Belleek Pottery Works Company Ltd in Belleek, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Initially starting with domestic products, it wasn't until 1863 that small amounts of the Parian porcelain for which Belleek is famous for to this day, was successfully produced. By 1865, the prestige of the company had increased enough that its market included Ireland, England, the United States, Canada and Australia, and clients included the Prince of Wales, Queen Victoria and the nobility.
