Product Description

Belleek Studio Collection  Icing Pot

Studio is a new collection created in-house by our design & production teams at Belleek Pottery.  Overlooking Lower Lough Erne, stands our impressive factory & creative design studio in County Fermanagh.  Established in 1857, over 60 craftspeople manufacture our famous Parian China using the same skills passed down through the generations. Each hand crafted piece originates as a concept in the studio, where our product designers take inspiration from our museum archive, travel, galleries & surrounding nature.  Images, colour & techniques are collated & developed into next season’s  Artisan Homeware collections.

It is thought that lustre glazes were applied to pottery in Mesopotamia as early as the 9th century & the technique later became popular in Persia and Syria in the 12th century. Unlike these early Eastern lustres that were bold & brightly coloured, Belleek Pottery founding partner, Robert Armstrong strived to produce lustreware with much softer colours inspired by the iridescent qualities of sea shells. Here at Belleek Pottery we have been using lustre decoration since the 1870’s to adorn pieces with iridescent washes of colour & mother of pearl. The Icing Collection has been developed to celebrate this long established use of lustre, where it has been applied to fun contemporary shapes to create a modern twist on a traditional technique.
