The Four Leaf Clover has always been associated in Ireland of being a symbol of luck and shamrock is also rich in symbolism being the emblem of St Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland. This basket is expertly hand crafted by Belleek basket makers and is a unique shamrock shape adorned with quaint hand painted four leaf clovers.
The creation of each Belleek Basket tells us a story about the amazing art of Belleek basket making. Basket and flower making was introduced to Belleek by William Henshall who came to work for Belleek Pottery in the late 1860's. Over the next forty years he developed the craft and trained the local craftsmen in the necessary skills. These in turn passed their skills down through the following generations to the present day.
Made by hand in Ireland.
