The best seller was this First Period lace pattern charger, right. Embellished with gilding and featuring the black printed mark, impressed mark and design registration mark, 14 1/2in (37cm) plate was estimated at €500-700 but sold at €4600 (£3130).
Dowager’s expertise
THE Dowager Lady Langham, who authorised the HOK (18.5% buyer's premium) sale of the Langham family’s collections on September 27, is a world authority on Belleek having been collector/dealer for many years and having written three books on the subject. At the sale she only parted company with nine pieces of the Fermanagh pottery, most of which sold above expectations.
