Description
There is a pub on a corner in Galway where the fiddler has played every Thursday night for thirty-one years. The floorboards slope, the fire smokes a little when the wind is from the west, and the barman knows everyone’s order before they have taken off their caps. On a good night, someone starts singing a ballad nobody has heard in years, and by the final chorus the whole room has joined in, strangers and regulars alike, glasses raised to the ceiling beams.
This porcelain pub brims with that warmth. It depicts a traditional Irish public house, its front painted in vibrant colours with fine detailing, and four miniature beer bottles add a cheerful touch of the night ahead. Beer lovers will raise a glass to it; it is a perfect ornament for a home bar or games room, and a natural centrepiece for a St Patrick’s Day gathering. For anyone who has ever stepped out of the rain into a snug Irish bar and felt instantly at home, it will bring that feeling straight back.
