| | Beer Stein Article - “Rare and Beautiful American Belleek Steins” |
 | | American Belleek, briefly described, is a thin, highly translucent feldspathic body, finished with a thin, pale pearly glaze. |
 | | While Belleek is generally considered a fragile item, it should be noted that the steins were made fairly heavy and strong enough to stand up to a normal amount of use. |
 | | Early American Belleek, although close to eighty-five years old, shows no signs of age crazing, a credit to the formulators of the white-ware and the glazes. |
