Experience the romance and tradition of Ireland with the Belleek Claddagh Collection. Inspired by the iconic Claddagh symbol, these exquisite mugs embody a story of love, friendship, and loyalty originating from the Claddagh village over 400 years ago. Each mug in this pair is handcrafted in Belleek, featuring an embossed Claddagh design that captures the essence of this enduring symbol. Ideal for engagements or anniversaries, these mugs are not only symbolic but also practical, being microwave and dishwasher safe.
A Claddagh traditionally features two hands holding a heart topped with a crown. The hands denote friendship, the heart symbolises love, and the crown represents loyalty. This symbol is widely recognised and used in various forms, most famously in the Claddagh ring, which has become a significant token of love and relationship status, particularly in Irish culture. The way the ring is worn can also convey the wearer's romantic status.
