Belleek Porcelain Neptune Cabaret Tea Set, Victorian, 1891-1926

Belleek’s Neptune pattern is one of the firm’s most famous Victorian designs, inspired by the natural forms of shells and marine life. This porcelain cabaret tea set is designed with the distinctive thin, translucent Belleek body with cast shell shapes, serrated edges and attached seaweed-like handles and feet. The soft ivory glaze is enhanced by a subtle green tint along the edges and raised details – a hallmark of early Belleek production. Made during the Neptune period, circa 1891-1926, this set perfectly reflects Belleek’s technical sophistication and organic aesthetic, making it a highly sought-after example of Irish Victorian porcelain.
