Being from a Northern Irish-Scottish family, there is both Belleek and tartan in our home. We received some Belleek as wedding gifts 20 years ago; elegant vases and yes, with the little shamrocks. My favourite Irish pottery is Carrigaline from Cork, actually, in the blue stripes. My Nana started us on that as kids and now I use those vintage dishes every day and think of her.
The figurines are beautifully made but to be honest china is not my thing. Gotta be four figures that huge St Patrick 😆, better off spending that on Guinness 😁. I don't think I have ever seen Belleek pottery, I will know it now though if see it. We grew up with something called Dragon pottery which was made in the town I lived, its long closed now and my wife been slowly collecting it this last few years.

It’s great that you use them, so many of these items get ‘displayed only’. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, you may not get much Belleek we’re you are, but it’s pretty well known in Ireland and to collectors elsewhere.
