The eggshell porcelain is thin and translucent. The interiors have a cream wash. The bases are glazed and have a partial glazed foot.

The green mark on the base of all pieces except the creamer reads BELLEEK IRELAND with a copyright R in a circle above the harp. They have an emblem of a wolf, harp and tower. They also have Gaelic words below. This is Belleek’s 6th green mark used between 1965-1980. The creamer has the same mark but without the copyright R. This is Belleeks 4th green mark, used between 1946 and 1955.

CONDITION
There is a long hairline running lengthwise on the spout of the teapot. Otherwise, there are no breaks, chips, cracks, or repairs (see photo). There is very slight wear like they were never used. Some spotting from manufacture on the interior spout of the creamer's luster finish. The pieces look brand new. The sugar doesn’t have a lid, although I’m not certain it came with one.

A fun but elegant, fine tea set by Belleek that you can add to a collection or use. See less
