KEEPING IRELAND ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES IRISH STYLE in Chez Peachy: Whom You Know is Thrilled to Continue Coverage of One of Our Favorite Brands: Belleek with Mover and Shaker Bill Follett! The Shamrock Mug Earns Our Highest Recommendation
Essential: Peachy's coffee
We write a lot about culinary endeavors, however, coffee could trump eating in terms of importance. What you drink your coffee in is just as important as the coffee itself. We would never have gotten to 18,000 posts without caffeine, and we really loved our Galway weave coffee mug by Belleek:
For the last two years Peachy has always drank coffee out of it because it's better than all of the others we've seen. However, one day, this beautiful Belleek Galway Weave coffee mug was bodychecked in Peachy's drying rack by a nasty pot and it was cracked. We almost had an Irish wake and funeral for it. You better believe that pot sat in the Penalty Box for a long time.
Today, we celebrate a renewed interest in Belleek and introduce you to a style new to us and just as elegant as the Galway Weave: The Shamrock Mug.
The design is absolutely gorgeous and classy with small, perfect shamrocks that grace its side on both the front and the back.
We love its lightweight quality and we love that it is made in Ireland.
Its handle delicately rests on the side and seems to match our coffee shade perfectly. The craftsmanship employed is the best in the world.
0093 Shamrock Mug – Handcrafted at Belleek Pottery in County Fermanagh Ireland, every piece passes 16 craftspeople, from the designers, mold makers, painters and, finally, the wrap station where each is carefully tucked into tissue and placed inside the famous Belleek gift box. The 11 oz mug can be used every day and cherished forever! It's dishwasher/microwave safe.
We first covered Belleek with Queen Elizabeth II:

The Shamrock Mug by Belleek has earned our highest recommendation.
