Intact and fully covered in a thin patina, this piece has no evidence of cracks or repairs. The decoration remains fully detailed and is barely worn. There is some black writing on the bottom back of the bell, less than 1" in length, that someone has tried unsuccessfully to clean, leaving a minor dark stain over it.
