This Fenton Chocolate Rose Bell features a slender silhouette and a velvety satin texture, offering a serene aesthetic for curated curio display displays.
Part of the limited "Chocolate Rose on Cameo" collection produced between 1979 and 1982, this piece captures the soft, romantic essence of the late Victorian revival style that Fenton mastered during this era. The bell is crafted from a delicate off-white satin glass, providing a muted, non-reflective background that allows the artistry of the hand-painted medallion to take center stage.
The focal point is a single, lush yellow rose accented with autumnal brown leaves, expertly rendered by Fenton artist Pam Bibbee, whose signature adds a layer of provenance to the piece. Standing at an elegant seven inches, the bell serves as a sophisticated vertical element for a vanity, a cottagecore-inspired bookshelf, or a dedicated glass collection. Its discontinued status makes it a sought-after find for those completing the Chocolate Rose set. The condition is excellent, with the glass retaining its original matte finish and the hand-painted details remaining crisp and vibrant. While there is minor sticker residue on the interior from a previous collector, the exterior presents beautifully and the chime remains clear and resonant.
Details: Stands 7" in height. Very good condition. Has sticker residue on the inside.
