Caption
This terracotta watercooler with jewelled enamel decoration is a highly unusual example of Belleek ware. It is the only known example of this particular design and one of the rarest pieces in our Belleek collection. An experimental work, the watercooler represents the very early beginnings of the Belleek Pottery industry in rural Fermanagh.
