Waterford Red 3" Snow Cut Lead Crystal Bell Ornament

This Waterford Red Cased Snow Crystal Bell Ornament was mouth-blown & hand cut by highly skilled craftsmen in Hungary from the purest crystal . The green & gold sticker is attached. No two are exactly alike. It was inspected by hand an average of 4 times. This lovely ornament comes with a white ribbon for hanging. This bell has three beautifully sculpted snowflakes. The sterling silver plated top part gleams. It has the Waterford name & hallmark on it, too. It is approx. 3 1/3" tall by 2 3/4" across the opening of the bell. This ornament is beautiful cased red crystal, cut to clear. Cased crystal is made when the artisan mouth blows a piece of pure crystal when it comes from the fire-clear, molten hot and unstable . It is then plunged back to the fiery kiln. Brilliant colored crystal encases the body. Only then, can it be passed to a master cutter who painstakingly cuts through the crystal to release the clear crystal encased below.
The ringer (clapper) is missing from this bell.
