This cut lead crystal dinner bell is meant to be struck on the side, so it has no clapper. As with all good crystal, it has a clear tone when struck. The body of the bell is fluted on the bottom 2/3, with a cross-hatch pattern near the top. The cut and pattern makes it sparkle beautifully.
What a wonderful way to get everyone's attention for a wedding or anniversary dinner toast - and create a keepsake in the process! Crystal catches the light beautifully, so it would be gorgeous in your window, on a shelf, and so on.
Condition: It is missing one "tooth" on the bottom, but it's not noticeable unless you're looking. Otherwise, it has no scratches, dents, cracks, chips - it's in good vintage shape.
