Description
Glass Bells showcases over 850 examples from around the world, featuring more than 480 colour photographs. This stunning collection includes cut glass bells, engraved bells, blown and pressed glass bells, as well as a special chapter on highly desirable wedding bells.
Each bell is identified by its type, date made, country of origin, and producer if known, along with details on size, colour, decoration or pattern, and current value. The book also provides background information on the manufacturers, including helpful hints on attributing bells to different companies by studying features such as handle design and clapper attachment.
With over thirty years of experience in collecting and researching glass bells, this comprehensive guide will be thoroughly enjoyed by anyone who appreciates bells, glass, and the decorative arts.
