c.1900 AMERICAN BELLEEK... ANTIQUE HAND-PAINTED LENOX BELLEEK CIDER PITCHER with luscious ripe PEACHES, china painted & signed by the late 19th Century porcelain artist: 'Schellenger'. This piece makes us think of sultry summer Georgia afternoons under the live oak tree....where the only sound you can hear over the cicadas is the rustle of the ice in the pitcher as you pour yourself another cold drink. Perfect for al fresco entertaining, or as a display piece. 9-1/2" long x 5-5/8" tall. Excellent condition. Bears the Lenox Belleek stamp in blue green, on the underside.

GENERAL NOTE OF INTEREST: American Belleek porcelain is of the same late 19th Century and early 20th Century vintage as is most French Limoges porcelain and other comparable European porcelains, and it is also of the very highest quality. American Belleek was made primarily by several separate companies once located in Trenton, New Jersey and is one of the finest antique porcelains, admired for its beautiful natural creamy color and soft glaze which allowed for deeper penetration of the vitrifiable china paint colors during their fire in the kiln, thus American Belleek has a slightly softer appearance to the finished china paintings than the 'hard paste' porcelains from Limoges, France. This 'soft' appearance of the finished American Belleek hand-painted pieces is very highly prized by antique porcelain art collectors, as well as by many porcelain artists. Antique hand-painted American Belleek is considerably more rare and harder to discover than is comparable hand-painted Limoges china. Thus the price of American Belleek generally tends to be higher than comparable antique hand painted European porcelains. Nevertheless, the primary factor which ultimately determines value is the art quality of the china painting itself, even moreso than the porcelain upon which it was painted. The three most familiar American Belleek companies were: WILLETS BELLEEK, LENOX BELLEEK and CAC BELLEEK (aka Ceramic Arts Company), all of which were originally located in Trenton, New Jersey, circa 1900. 'American Belleek' is only the 'generic' name used by collectors for the three companies mentioned above, and is not the name of a specific company. We hope this note is helpful to new collectors
