Life is short, so live like royalty by decorating your home as an Irish king would have decorated his palace in 6th-century Ireland's Tara. This vase displays the original Irish craftmanship and has been made using materials and techniques handed down from generation to generation. The trunk of the vase displays three handpainted shamrocks that intertwine, and large upraised Celtic knots circle above the shamrocks and small Celtic knots below them. The top of the vase flowers open to hold a small bouquet.

The 4-inch Tara Vase is an irresistible example of the fine Irish parian china that Belleek continues to make. Parian is the name given to the white biscuit porcelain primarily associated with figure modeling. The name derives from its close similarity to the white marble mined on the island of Paros in the Aegean Sea. Since its introduction in 1857, Belleek has been prized by porcelain lovers the world over and has found its way into the collections of royalty, heads of state, and museums. This Tara Vase makes a charming addition to your Belleek collection or is a great piece with which to begin one.
