One of her favorites is a Gothic style tea set; tea pot, cream and sugar by American Belleek/Willett Belleek
The story of American Belleek you must travel across the waters to County Fermanagh, Ireland to a little town called Belleek. In the year of 1857 and it was learned that Belleek was ultra lightweight, translucent and has a pearly iridescent glaze which has just been perfected by one Jules Henri Brianchon. This Belleek was a superior quality porcelain. The reason for the high quality of this porcelain was that English and Irish workers were coaxed over to Ireland to work in the manufacture of Belleek. With this abundance of talented men all co-operating, Irish Belleek soon became the eggshell thin translucent porcelain we all recognize.
Upon learning that American manufacturers were trying to perfect the new porcelain, a few of these workers traveled to America. They went from factory to factory assisting the Americans wherever they needed to get the quality desired for their American Belleek patterns.
This eventually became a problem; Irish Belleek did not wish to have the American’s using their name to distribute the American Belleek products. It was taken to court and the Irish won, therefore the Lenox/Willett company came into existence with its warm creamy kaolin which is strong and yet translucent. The American Belleek pieces I love which are my special for the month, are a very creamy soft yellow colored background with blue highlights, pink roses and green intertwining leaves and gold accents on handles, outlines and base. The superb finishing touch is the artist signed these pieces with Nancy in the most difficult area, under the handle. These pieces are 10% off with no added charge for shiping.
