Belleekware and the Pottery’s heritage has attracted many devotees and proud collectors throughout the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom Group was formed on 4th June 1989 when an inaugural meeting was held in London with the help and support of the International Belleek Collectors Society. Since then, our membership has met four times each year for our three scheduled meeetings and annual Christmas Parties. Each meeting is held in various locations throughout the UK when members act as hosts. We have amongst others, visited Bristol,Buckinghamshire,Cheshire,Cornwall,Coventry,London to name a few.
We have also planned, co-ordinated and hosted the 3rd International Belleek collectors convention held in 1997 when collectors from around the world visited our host city, Stoke On Trent. Above, here we are at our AGM meeting held each July. Shown below are some rare and unusual pieces available for purchase that were included in our 'Silent Auction' event which is held during this meeting. |

Normally, our meetings include a good deal of socialising, a 'bring and tell', items of Belleek on display and discussion promoted by our researchers to broaden our appreciation of Belleek. we have either guest speakers (with ceramic connections)or speakers from within our own group. We regularly update our website and keep both photographic archives and a wealth of video recordings of our earlier gatherings and Member's collections. A selection of literature is available and a superb newsletter is published three times a year (a sample copy is available, please click HERE .
