Cut Glass Crystal Bell – Etched Floral Motif with Faceted Stopper

Description :
This elegant cut glass bell features a beautifully etched floral design with frosted leaf accents wrapping around its body. The clear crystal form is topped with a highly faceted teardrop-shaped stopper that mirrors the prismed edges of fine leaded glass. Likely intended as a decorative or ceremonial bell rather than functional dinnerware, it produces a soft chime when gently rung. The combination of frosted etching and brilliant clarity makes it suitable for display in curio cabinets, vintage bridal collections, or holiday decor arrangements.
