	Belleek
	Belleek china was made in Ireland, other European countries, and the United States. The glaze is creamy yellow and appears wet. The first Belleek was made in 1857. All pieces listed here are Irish Belleek. The mark changed through the years. The first mark, black, dates from 1863 to 1890. The second mark, black, dates from 1891 to 1926 and includes the words Co. Fermanagh, Ireland. The third mark, black, dates from 1926 to 1946 and has the words Deanta in Eirinn. The fourth mark, same as the third mark but green, dates from 1946 to 1955. The fifth mark, green, dates from 1955 to 1965 and has an R in a circle added in the upper right. The sixth mark, green, dates after 1965 and the words Co. Fermanagh have been omitted. The seventh mark, gold, was used from 1980 to 1993 and omits the words Deanta in Eirinn. The eighth mark, introduced in 1993, is similar to the second mark but is printed in blue. The word Belleek is now used only on the pieces made in Irelan
