Size: Bowl is 5.5" x 5" and 4.25" high. Signed on underside with hallmark of Ott and Brewer circa 1890. Condition: Excellent with no chips, cracks, stains or repairs. Wonderful and delicate piece of porcelain for your Belleek collection.NOTE: For years, the Trenton potters worked very hard to make fine porcelain that could rival the Europeans. In 1892, Joseph Ott sought help from William Bromley, Sr., who had firsthand expertise in making Irish Belleek. Around late 1883 to early 1884, Ott & Brewer successfully made the first American Belleek, a fine porcelain ware that resembled Irish Belleek, but was made entirely from American materials with soil from the New Jersey clay beds and water from the Delaware River.In ten years of Belleek production, Ott & Brewer did not stop improving the quality of its wares. Many regard their porcelain as the finest porcelain ever produced in the United States. Due to a decline in demand for high quality products, Ott & Brewer was forced to suspend production in 1892 and into a receiver's sale in 1893.PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AMERICAN BELLEEK PIECES ON AUCTION NOW, AS ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING TO SAVE YOU $$Get images thatmake Supersized
