Belleek Classic Shamrock Sugar Bowl | 4in Parian China | Made in

About This Item

• The Threefold Leaf: The shamrock has carried the same meaning in Ireland since St. Patrick used it in the fifth century to explain the Trinity, three equal parts of a single whole, a belief made visible in a common field leaf. On this sugar bowl, hand-painted shamrock clusters trail across the rounded ivory surface, each one placed with care.
• Clay That Glows: Parian china is an ivory-white clay body made only at Belleek, lighter and more translucent than standard porcelain, its warmth coming from the clay rather than a glaze. Measuring 4.0 x 3.6 inches (10.2 x 9.1 cm), the bowl passes through 16 pairs of hands, and any piece failing inspection is destroyed, not sold.
• Stems Shape Handles: The Shamrock Tableware collection has been made at Belleek since the 1880s. Unlike the plates in the range, basket weave covers this bowl's entire rounded body, not just the rim. At the sides, shamrock stems curve into low loop handles, and the lid closes with a stem-and-leaf knob. Hand wash only, not dishwasher or microwave safe.
• Boxed for Giving: Every Belleek piece ships in a Belleek-branded gift box, ready to give without extra wrapping or preparation, presentation already done. A Shamrock sugar bowl is a retirement gift that earns its place on the kitchen counter and stays there, used each morning before the kettle boils, and still in the same spot years later.
• Fermanagh Since 1857: The Belleek pottery has made china on the River Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, since 1857. Every piece carries the Belleek backstamp, confirming Irish origin and year of production. Explore the wider Shamrock Tableware collection: dinner plates, salad plates, a bread plate, bowls, cups and saucers, and a teapot.
