Lot 329:
Vintage Glass Hand Bells including Imperial Glass and Amber Opalescent Examples
Sold for: $30
Description
This collection features four vintage glass hand bells. Three matching bells are crafted from transparent light green glass, characterized by a paneled body with arched lower edges and a smooth teardrop handle. One of these bells bears a paper label for the Imperial Glass Company. All three retain their original bead clappers on metal chains. The fourth item is an amber opalescent lady bell attributed to Fenton Art Glass. The bell body exhibits a raised relief Lily of the Valley motif and fine vertical ribbing, transitioning from transparent amber at the top to a milky pink-white opalescence at the scalloped rim. The handle is molded into the bust of a woman with an upswept hairstyle. This bell includes a glass clapper on a metal chain.
Condition report:
The items are in good vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or restorations are visible. All four bells are complete with their original internal clappers. The glass remains clear with consistent color and opalescence.
