Antique Belleek Irish Porcelain Saucer – Etruscan Shell Pattern Mid 20th Century

About the Item

Antique Belleek Irish Porcelain Saucer – Basket Weave Shell Pattern, 5th Mark (c.1955–1965) Delicate Irish craftsmanship in luminous creamy porcelain Add a touch of historic elegance to your tableware or curated display with this exquisite vintage Belleek porcelain saucer, handcrafted in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Featuring Belleek’s iconic ivory-hued Parian porcelain with a subtle shell-inspired basket weave texture, this piece exemplifies the brand’s reputation for ethereal translucence and refined craftsmanship. Stamped with the green 5th mark (used from 1955 to 1965), this saucer represents a post-war golden era of Belleek production. The hand-applied glaze and uniquely organic form give it a soft, fluid silhouette—ideal for collectors of fine Irish ceramics, as well as those seeking a minimalist-yet-textured accent for old-world, cottagecore, or grandmillennial interiors.
