I just acquired a pair of American Belleek vases with the brown serpent mark on both. 1 has the artists name, E.M. Douglass, in the design, iris’s & orchids, and is 12” tall. The other one is 11” tall with a gold ruffled neck, rose design 1/3 way down the vase, all the way around, then a thin gold line below the design and a few leaves below the gold line. Has the same artist ‘s name written on the bottom by the mark. Can you tell me dates for these and value?

Hello I am trying to determine the market value of some Belleek pieces that were collected by my mother. All pieces are the 1965-1980 green mark. This includes a basket weave tea pot, creamer, and sugar bowl, two shamrock bud vases, shell shaped tea cup, shell shaped small dish, butter tub, a cheese/butter covered dish (yellow, top is a cottage with a thatched roof), basket weave jar with lid, and a shamrock bowl with an eyelet rim. I appreciate any help you can give me. Also Do you know what people are paying for Belleek currently.
Thank you

I have an old Belleek shaving mug that belonged to my Grandfather. It is very ornate with gold handle and trim, etc. It is dated 1901 with the initials M.J.M painted on the bottom, but the Belleek mark for that period doesn’t seem right, i.e., it looks like it a circle with a painter’s pallet and brushes? Any idea of what it actually is and worth?

I have just found a vase in a long-deceased relatives effects. It is what I would call a Bud vase, with a closed top with tiny holes in that top. Stunning floral painting, about 7″ tall, and Willets Belleek on bottom, along with a numbered hand signing. Help! We have so many of her things, I would like to put this in the hands of a collector.
