Vintage Irish Belleek Shard Pin/Pendant

This piece comes from a vintage Irish Belleek plate dating between 1965 and 1980. I recovered it in Ireland and made it in my County Tipperary studio.

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>
