Erin Go Bragh!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day on Thursday I thought I'd post this lucky Irish Piggy!

Continental majolica pig humidor

There aren't too many majolica pieces that celebrate the shamrock, surprising considering the proximity of Ireland to The UK.

I've included a few that do below.

Wedgwood majolica relish dish

Fives-Lille majolica pitcher

Minton majolica shamrock tile

Unattributed majolica shamrock tile

Continental majolica and metal tazza

Wedgwood majolica shamrock plate

French clover plate

I'll see you at the pub!
