The Belleek Mark - "Without Which None Is Genuine"

The Belleek Mark is applied to the bottom of each piece of genuine Belleek China.  Although it has changed over the years, there are several common elements:

An Irish Wolfhound has its head turned backward to face a round tower.  This is believed by many to be the Devenish Round Tower on Devenish Island in Lower Lough Erne.  An Irish Harp Appears to the right of the tower.  Below these three features the name "Belleek" appears on a banner with a shamrock border on the ends.
