Belleek date marks
Belleek date marks retain the round tower, harp and wolfhound across revisions; a special mark or basket pad can differ from the main backstamp.
Wolfhound, harp and round tower
Compare the emblem, wording and small additions to the manufacturer’s mark sequence. The first three principal marks span 1863–1946; the round tower, harp and wolfhound remain core elements across later revisions.

What to check next
A mark period is a production range rather than an exact year for every piece. Special marks and basket pads can differ from the main backstamp. Keep a separate model number apart from the factory emblem.
