If you do a netsearch for Beleek there are many examples available, both
today's Beleek and antique porcelain. I didn't see any examples like the
ones we saw in Kilkenney, Dublin and Shannon ... creamy white, thin
with either parts of rims, or the whole pot, made to look like
latticework on a pie crust. Elegant. Small modern pieces during the
tourist season were selling for $50 to $100 and much more, according to
how "exclusive" the shop was considered to be. This was four years ago.
Prices and the patterns may have changed.
