Vintage Irish Wade Porcelain

Vintage Irish Wade porcelain and pottery was originally known by the name Wade Ulster. The company was located in the Province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. This company dates back to the year 1946, with production under the name of Irish Wade beginning in 1953. In order to make their products stand out from Wade England pottery pieces, the company adopted a shamrock logo and stamped their pieces with the words “Irish Porcelain Made in Ireland”.
