Irish Belleek Parian China—Form Follows Fantasy was launched in mid-March of 2002 by San Franciscan Robert Ashley Ruiz (now living outside New York City). Click here for this web site's mission statement.

Feel free to contact me about submitting vintage or original articles on Belleek by clicking here. All such articles are accessible under Reference Materials above on this page.

Writers, feel free to submit profiles (with at least 5 to 20 good quality images) of your fellow Belleek collectors and their collections around the globe. If you need to send photos by mail to have them scanned then returned, please contact me.

Collectors with unusual pieces of Belleek or entire collections, and who have interesting stories to tell, are encouraged to contact me. Who knows, you may be featured in an original article published on the site! If you know of such a collector, feel free to submit them for consideration.

Have a rare, unusual, or highly collectible piece of Belleek? Please share detailed and overall images (along with any information you have on the piece) and take part in the creation of an online virtual Belleek museum in which you will be credited for your contribution. (If you need assistance with scanning actual photographs please contact me. Thank you!)
