Belleek Porcelain Bud Vase — a petite vessel capturing the Irish pottery tradition in miniature. Modeled in Belleek’s iconic translucent ivory porcelain, this bud vase features molded shell panels arranged in vertical segments around the body. The hand-painted shamrock sprigs and gold rim lend it a touch of Irish symbolism and formality, while its flared mouth and tapering base keep the silhouette delicate and balanced.
Belleek Pottery, operating in Northern Ireland since the mid-19th century, is renowned for its unique Parian porcelain — lightweight, luminous, and finely molded. Shamrock-themed wares have long been a signature of the factory, representing both national pride and global popularity. Bud vases like this were especially beloved in mid-century Irish-American households, often displayed as cabinet pieces or table accents.
This vase is a perfect introduction to Belleek for new collectors or a refined addition to any existing collection. Its soft glaze and nautical influence make it a timeless expression of coastal Irish charm.
