EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past of Belleek Potteries in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The image showcases the exterior view of the furnaces used for firing china, with their towering chimneys and the adjacent building. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills, adding to the picturesque beauty of the location. A man is featured in the photograph, standing near the base of one of the chimneys, providing a sense of scale and offering a glimpse into the daily workings of the pottery. The men who worked at Belleek Potteries were responsible for loading the kilns with freshly made pottery, stoking the fires, and monitoring the temperature to ensure a consistent and high-quality finish. The furnaces were the heart of the pottery, where the magic happened. The intense heat transformed the clay into beautiful, intricately designed pieces of china that were highly sought after both locally and internationally. The process was labor-intensive and required a great deal of skill and expertise. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Belleek Potteries and the important role that the furnaces played in the creation of these exquisite works of art. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication that went into each piece produced at the pottery.
