The original ice pail is on display at the Vernon Museum in British Columbia. It is one of the finest examples of fine Belleek Parian. This intricate piece features a putto astride a dolphin surrounded with three hippocampi over waves on the lid, the cylindrical body is decorated with putti in a nautical setting, raised on a tripartite mermaid form stem over the circular foot. The Belleek Prince of Wales ice pail stands almost 20 inches tall, and is made of unglazed Parian china. Made in Ireland.
