This timeless design was first introduced in the 1880s, when Belleek designer Michael Maguire came up with the idea of using the basketweave pattern along with Shamrocks to create the now world-famous Belleek Shamrock pattern.

The fusion of the quality, craftsmanship and heritage of Belleek has ensured the brand has not only survived but has thrived since 1857. each piece of Classic Belleek is created by 16 individual artists. From design to production to quality control, this is a process that has changed very little since its beginnings.

The Belleek Classic collection features tableware, giftware and home accessories. These works of art treasured in homes around the world are passed down lovingly through generations.
