Irish Belleek Shard Pin/Pendant - 24K Gold

This piece comes from an Irish Belleek plate dating between 1980 and 1993. I recovered it in Ireland and made it in my County Tipperary studio. Measures 2" x 1" and plated with classic 24K gold. n n<em><strong>About Belleek</strong> nThe town of Belleek in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, began producing pottery in the 1850s in an effort to recover from the Irish potato famine. In the 1860s, the factory perfected its recipe for Parian porcelain and quickly gained prestige throughout Ireland, England, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Belleek is still produced today and considered highly collectible.</em>
