Belleek Pottery is made from the natural-occurring minerals found in the soil of Belleek, a city in Northern Ireland.
Legend has it that during the Irish potato famine of the 19th Centruy, Belleek Pottery’s founder, John Caldwell Bloomfield, used the soil’s minerals to create a white-wash for his cabin. A passer-by complimented the pearly-white shine of this makeshift coating, and the rest is history. Specifically, the minerals in Belleek’s soil that are attributed with the porcelain’s uniqueness are feldspar, kaolin, flint, clay, and shale.
Bloomfield partnered with two of his friends to first make earthenware and by the end of the 19th Century, porcelain was the company’s signature product. To add to Belleek Pottery’s regional identity, early pieces of the porcelain were hand-painted with shamrock designs, and they were poured in a certain way to give the porcelain an eggshell-like feel. This strong identify of the porcelain, and the resulting perception of its scarcity, made it the object of demand of the most prominent Europeans. This initial popularity has not worn off, and people still have similar cravings for Belleek’s identity and scarcity.
