Collector's Notes

Figural lady bells were made as decorative table bells and souvenirs, with the full skirt forming the bell itself.

This one suits a collector of brass bells, Welsh themed pieces, traditional costume figures, or small working desk accessories.

The deep folds in the shawl and vertical detailing along the skirt give this particular figure a strong shape from every side.

It works as a bell, but it has enough character to stand on the shelf without needing to announce anything.
