Delicate Irish Porcelain
Now that I own a 1990s Belleek clock and this inter-war piece (made between 1926 and 1946), I can see the older piece is much much more delicate and refined than the modern pieces. The glazing on this older piece is indeed pearly and reflects a lustrous multi-colour iridescence as Belleek ware is (was?) famous for. The rosebuds, leaves and the main rose's petals look like it's made out of mother-of-pearl and almosy razor-thin.
On the other hand, the fact that I paid very little money for this also shows you how such things are ignored by society these days.
