Description

A Belleek parian porcelain creamer in the Tridacna pattern, featuring a bulbous, molded shell-textured body and a bifurcated handle in the form of coral branches. The vessel is made of thin, translucent parian porcelain with a creamy ivory tone. It is decorated with a graduated pink wash on the handle and upper exterior, finished with a hand-painted gold gilt edge along the scalloped rim. The underside displays the Belleek second black printed factory mark, used between 1891 and 1926. The mark consists of a crest with a round tower, harp, and Irish wolfhound, flanked by banners reading Belleek and Co. Fermanagh Ireland.
