BELLEEK - IRISH PORCELAIN – An Illustrated Guide to Over Two Thousand Pieces
by Marion Langham. Quiller Press 1993 First Edition.
Marian Langham has captured the essence of Belleek through painstaking research and original photographs. As she said in her introduction,” this text is not to be a history in the literal sense. It is, rather, a ‘pictorial tribute’ so laid out and with such painstaking references, that the collector or visitor to the factory can quickly find the piece in which he or she is interested and, through the captions and text, can appreciate its significance and value. An illustrated guide to over two thousand pieces of Belleek porcelain, this text beautifully produces in superb color a huge variety of porcelain produced by Belleek. Five hundred beautiful produced color photographs do eloquent justice to that Belleek artistry; from baskets, figurines and ornaments to vases, cornucopias, statues and busts; from flower pots, dessert services and biscuit jars to mugs, plates and holy water fonts - every important aspect of the work of the pottery since its establishment in 1857.” The photography in this book is stunning and the narrative is rich. This is a must-buy book for the serious collector, dealer, or historian of Belleek porcelain wares.
