Lot #2144: Assorted Lot - Bohemia Hand-Cut Lead Crystal Bell (Czechoslovakia), Schinkenhäger Mini Mugs, Gold Crown Shot Glasses & Leather Wrist

A charming mixed lot of collectibles from the same estate as the vintage radio collection featured in this auction. The highlight is a beautiful Bohemia hand-cut lead crystal bell from Czechoslovakia, still wearing its original foil label (24% PbO). It has a deep-cut pinwheel and leaf design, a faceted handle and a faceted crystal clapper on a chain, and it rings with the clear tone fine crystal is known for. Bohemian crystal has been prized for centuries, and this bell is a lovely example. Also included are two miniature ceramic Schinkenhäger mugs. They’re fun German advertising pieces for the well-known Schinkenhäger gin, decorated with its bottle and a traditional Westphalian spread. You’ll also get a pair of shot glasses with gold crown, shield and crest designs, and a brown leather wrist cuff with a buckle closure. It’s a nice grab-bag lot for collectors of crystal, barware and German advertising pieces. Be sure to check out our other estate items listed in this auction!
