Belleek-Style Shell and Basketweave Cream and Sugar Set

Belleek-Style Shell and Basketweave Cream and Sugar SetA sweet and well preserved example of late 19th century parian porcelain in the shell and basketweave style made famous by the Belleek Pottery in County Fermanagh, Ireland. This two piece cream and sugar set is moulded with deeply textured basketweave sides, scalloped shell form bodies, and delicate coral or shell feet that lift each piece just off the surface.
