Wolfhound Memorabilia

"This plate belonged to Betty Murphy, and had been in her family for years. She is a keen fan of wolfhounds, which is why she was drawn to the plate. The plate has been passed down her family. The plate contains the five symbols of Ireland which are also the symbols of Belleek pottery. They were able to trademark the symbols across Europe. Except in Germany, where they faced difficulty because a sausage maker had the patent for the shamrock. "
