- Celtic Cross Blessing: The road rising to meet you was the blessing spoken to people leaving Ireland, often for good, and carried in memory on both sides of the Atlantic ever since. The text appears here in full, in gold lettering on a Celtic cross, the cross-within-circle form that has stood in stone at Irish monastic sites since the 5th century.
- Ivory and Light: Parian china carries an ivory luminosity and holds embossed relief and detail painted in gold with a precision no standard ceramic can match. Each piece passes through 16 pairs of hands from design through to quality control, any failing inspection destroyed rather than sold. Measures 4.9 x 3.8 x 0.3 inches (12.5 x 9.7 x 0.7 cm).
- Claddagh at Center: Part of Belleek's Irish ornament range, the Claddagh is at the cross center, outlined in gold, its heart, crown and hands representing love, loyalty and friendship. Embossed shamrocks fill the arms, painted green by hand in the four pierced sections at the cross ends. Celtic knotwork runs along each arm. Wipe with a damp cloth.
- Boxed for Giving: Arrives in a Belleek branded gift box, no wrapping needed, ready to hand over. For the first Christmas after someone has moved further from home than expected, this cross with its road-rising blessing lands differently than any other gift on the tree. The green ribbon is already looped through and the piece is ready to hang.
- On the Erne: Standing on the River Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, Belleek has made Irish pottery since 1857. The backstamp on the base confirms Irish origin and dates each piece to its year of production. This ornament is part of a wider Irish-themed collection, each piece made by hand in Ireland to the same standard for 169 years.
