Belleek Classic Tara Frame | Fine Parian China | Made in Ireland | 8x10

• Tara Brooch Design: The Tara Brooch, an 8th-century Irish artifact found near Bettystown, Co. Meath, carries the interlocked Celtic knotwork that inspired this frame. The pattern has no beginning and no end, representing eternity. Embossed across four sides, the same continuous knotwork surrounds every photograph placed in this frame.
• Frame Dimensions: Made in Fine Parian China, the ivory-white clay body Belleek has used since 1857. The frame holds an 8x10 inch photograph and measures 27.7cm wide by 33cm tall overall. Every piece passes through 16 pairs of hands; any that fails inspection is destroyed, not sold.
• Celtic Knotwork Pattern: The Tara collection places Celtic knotwork blocks at the four corners and along the top and bottom borders, with hand-painted shamrocks and gold vine tendrils running the full perimeter. The shamrocks carry their own Trinitarian meaning alongside the knotwork's representation of eternity.
• Irish Gifting Ready: The frame arrives in a Belleek gift box, ready for a wedding, a First Communion, an anniversary, or a new home. When it holds a wedding portrait, the Celtic knotwork surrounds the couple with its symbol of eternity; when it holds a baptism photograph, it places the child in Irish tradition.
• Classic Collection: The Belleek trademark stamp on the base of every piece was first applied at the County Fermanagh pottery in 1857 and has authenticated Belleek ware in Irish-American homes for five generations. This frame carries that same stamp. It is one piece in the wider Belleek Tara collection.
