Immediately I had to go get my 2 pieces of Belleek I own. Shined the flashlight inside both. Handled each with a new love, knowing the intricacy each has. My grandparents came over on the boat. "Erin go brau!" I love my Irish heritage.
BELLEEK POTTERY I believe it takes a really special kind of people to undertake this kind of craftmanship,and it says a lot of the individual, to do this special craft one has to be patient ,gentle and so filled with love for what you do,and oh yes the people your customers so do appreciate all the hard work and time you put into such unbelivablely beautiful creations,I've so love this documentary on pottery at BELLEEK ,thank you ever so much for sharing.
Belleek has a special place in my heart when it comes to their teaware. When I was young I thought it was "bleak" and although I know as an adult that Belleek is a brand, I still find that "bleak" rings true to the aesthetic of this beautiful pottery. Theres a coldness about the ivory tone, but also a fragility and warmth about the rich details. Something about the artistry brings me an intense feeling emotion when I look at the various pieces. For some reason I found myself very emotional at the end of this video, and as I continued to browse the online shops. My favourite items are certainly the teacups and saucers adorned with gentle and delicate shamrocks, as well as the teapots. Those baskets are also stunning though, especially seeing the effort that goes into them. My grandmother from Ireland has a small collection of perhaps 15 pieces of Belleek, and my grandfather on that side was Chinese; one day I hope to develop my own small collection of both Belleek and Qing Dynasty dishware. I'm hoping to begin perhaps with a pair of Belleek teacups and saucers before the year is out.
Compared to Chinese Yixing teapots potters ,, this requires , zero patience . Yixing potters do not use molds , they don't even throw the clay, the pots are entirely made from scratch and even the clay isn't clay , it is Ore which are pulverized after being seasoned for years outdoors and then transformed into a solid paste, potters also season for months before it is used . ua-cam.com/video/b66N6zFAWMM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/OE8n823w2n8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/0Yxknzm514o/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/BZU_PNKIEgQ/v-deo.html And now if you want to know what real patience is , watch this . ua-cam.com/video/eG8xHnDBBGU/v-deo.html Which is why at auction last year a pot sold for 37 million pounds .
@@morganolfursson2560 i think the ginger did pretty well against the Chinese Yixing teapots potters. not the same thing but both seems to be a pain. I do like the Chinese Yixing teapots potters smashing their pots with a hammer.
@@morganolfursson2560 While not offended in anyway I might have used the term "ginger" loosely since my girlfriend is a redhead and we joke around about it with each other. "Chink" is kinda more of a derogatory term... I guess we both agree they work they do is on another level. This day an age i guess everyone is offended...
Hi Andreas, thank you for your comment. We do have a basket available here: www.irishshop.com/belleek-shamrock-handled-basket.html We offer a wide range of Belleek items based on what is available at the time. Our range is updated a couple of times a year, so items that are unavailable now, may be available again later. Thank you again for your feedback.
I guess you mean glaze material. Usually people buy it. It comes in form of powder. You mix it with water and dip you pottery in the mixture, then fire it in kiln, and you will have glazed pottery
Amazing how artful the Irish were, but were treated so poorly and unfairly in their history by everybody. Bad luck, I guess, the bad luck. I am delighted they have survived it all and can impress everybody once again
Hard to believe that they carried materials and product up and down all those stairs. I guess labour was cheap or they would have put in an elevator. I spoke too soon. They then showed hand weaving of clay. OMG how stunningly inefficient. How long can a company survive without modernizing?
The skill of the workers is only surpassed by the stupidity of the management of such firms and its plain to see why they struggle to compete today. Carrying buckets of slip up 3 flight's of stairs then carrying a plank full of items on a plank like so many bricks is just ridiculous. One slip and a morning's work is lost when a simple lazy Susan or butler lift would remove all that. And a stupid decisions are made just like this everyday throughout Britain. Poor management, the scourge of these lands.
Never stop learning…this is so cool.

Nice stuff, but why do you not have any baskets on the IrishShop? That is the best you have to offer and it is not available??? Pity.

Slip casting and extruding... was not what I was expecting but still cool.
How can I order?
What is the name of this material in which the pottery is immersedCan it be manufactured at home?
