Vintage Mary Gregory cranberry glass bell — a stunning example of one of the most collectible glass decorating traditions of the Victorian era. The deep cranberry ruby body shades beautifully to a lighter blush pink at the flared rim, and the clear crystal handle adds an elegant, refined contrast.
The white enamel painted scene is quintessential Mary Gregory: a young girl in a full dress and bonnet, strolling through a garden landscape with tall trees, flowering plants, and birds in flight — rendered in delicate, confident brushwork that wraps the bell in a quiet pastoral story. The original brass chain clapper with a small faceted crystal bead drop is intact and functional.
Mary Gregory glass — named for a Sandwich Glass Company artist — is characterized by its white enamel figural scenes on richly colored glass, most often depicting children at play or in nature. Pieces span the late 19th century through quality mid-century reproductions, and remain highly sought by collectors of Victorian and antique glass.
