Royal Copenhagen Hand-painted Grethe Helland Hansen Porcelain Bell lidded wooden box opening and closing easilyThis pretty hand painted porcelain Royal Copenhagen bell was designed by Grethe Helland Hansen in the 1960s. It features a terrific irridescent blue glaze with purple and black accents, used to render an alternating design of two different flowers, one with petals open toward us, the other with the flower and stamen pointing downward. Really lovely, with a nice little ding! 3" tall x 3" diameter and in excellent condition.
