The "Neptune" Shell Bowl by Belleek

The "Neptune" Shell Bowl by Belleek is a classic marine-themed piece from the Belleek Pottery, a company founded in Ireland in 1849. The shell feet and wavy surfaces of the "Neptune" line were inspired by the sea, with production beginning as early as the late 19th century. To determine the age of your specific "Neptune" bowl, you'll need to identify the green maker's mark on its base and compare it to the official Belleek mark history, as each mark corresponds to a different production period
