Victorian pink and white Nailsea pattern on clear Glass Wedding Bell c1860
A 19th-century Nailsea glass bell with a clear spire handle above a bell with white and pink pulled decoration.
During the victorian era this became a popular decorative wedding present.
The 'Nailsea crow glass and Glass Bottle Manufacturers' was founded in 1788 at Nailsea near Bristol in England, and is known for its novelty coloured glass such as rolling pins, canes, shoes, bells, top hats and model ships and other such like items.
The bells were an unusual part of the output and are now thought to be, like loving cups and rolling pins, work the glassblowers made at the end of a day on their own time.
This bell is in fantastic condition, no chips, cracks or repairs. The origin clapper however is lost, these are easily broken, also please note the paster that is visible in the join is the ordinal material that was used to connect the handle with the bell itself.
All items are sensitively and minimally cleaned
Any questions please don't hesitate to drop me a message. I am very happy to pass on any additional information, or images you may need, if you are interested in more than one item I can arrange a combined postage price. Many thanks.
All items will be packaged using recycled or reused materials to help minimise any environmental impact.
Please be aware that you are purchasing a vintage item. We mention any obvious defects to the glass such as chips, cracks, etc. in our description but there may also be minor manufacturing faults eg. marks from the mould, straw marks and air bubbles, which is normal for glass of this era.
Just a quick note to all our American customers, we are up to speed on all the new import tariff changes, please feel confident with continuing to order from us, with Royal Mail any excess tariff charges are paid at point of purchase, this insures our customers have no nasty customs costs, we are here to answering any questions you may have, thank you, Kirsty
