The first recorded mention of the Shamrock was in 1571 and was first seen in written English as 'seamrog' around 1707. Later it came to be widely regarded as the emblem of Ireland and the Irish people. It is held in tradition as being symbolic of healthiness, good fortune, a faithful partner and fame. The handpainted shamrocks on the Nadine Spill Vase will surely bring you the luck of the Irish. A lovely gift for friends, family or for your own home! Fired in the kilns of Belleek, home of the famous translucent glaze. |
