Teacup, Saucers & Small plate
These delicate items, once owned by my great aunt, look just perfect for a tea party and I am tempted to brew a pot of tea but I keep them safely in my glass front cabinet. At one time there must have been more cups but just this one cup remains. I wonder if my aunt and her sisters used these pieces or just displayed them.
Sugar Bowl & Creamer
These all belonged to my great aunt, Kathleen G Coyle. I believe my aunt bought her various Belleek items during her trips to Ireland. I have passenger lists showing Kathleen visiting Ireland in August 1928 & September 1935. These pieces of pottery all have the' Third Mark' which means they were made between 1926 - 1946.
When my daughter and I visited Ireland in 2012 we enjoyed our tour of the Belleek factory and shop. Naturally, I bought a few items of my own!
