Making Memories Since 1857
On the banks of the River Erne, this Neo-Georgian building is home to Ireland’s oldest working fine china pottery.
Established in 1857, Belleek Pottery holds a very special place in Ireland’s cultural and commercial heritage.
Producing more than 100,000 pieces of pottery annually, passing through 16 pairs of hands, Belleek has opened its doors by giving you the chance to buy its special pieces online.
The Belleek Group comprises world-renowned gift and tableware brands of Belleek Classic, Belleek Living, Galway Irish Crystal, and Aynsley China.
Handcrafted in Ireland, each piece of fine Parian china is a truly original piece of Irish Craftsmanship made using materials and techniques handed down through generations.
No two pieces are ever the same. Every detail and brush stroke is skillfully applied by hand to create the look and feel that is uniquely Irish Belleek.
How did we get our start?
In 1849 John Caldwell Bloomfield inherited his father’s estate. Mindful of the plight of his tenants in the aftermath of the potato famine he sought to provide some form of livelihood. An amateur mineralogist, he ordered a geological survey of his land and revealed the necessary raw materials to make pottery – feldspar, kaolin, flint, clay & shale.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Back in 1857, the pottery’s founder declared that any piece with even the slightest flaw should be destroyed.
Over 165 years later, this golden rule is strictly adhered to. The result is perfection.

The Belleek Pottery, today.
Each piece of Traditional Belleek passes through 16 pairs of hands from design to finished piece.
Very little has changed since then…
The Belleek Mark
Perfect items are given the Belleek stamp that indicates when the product was made.
Hand painted Shamrocks
Designed and Handcrafted in Ireland
The simplicity of the pattern is based on the weave used in wickerwork baskets, once a common feature of both town and country
The design also cleverly uses the stems of the shamrocks to shape such features as the handles and details of the design
