FIMA DERUTA BELL Ceramic Italian Pottery "ASSISI" HAND PAINTED HANDMADE GENUINE

FIMA DERUTA BELL Ceramic Italian Pottery "ASSISI" HAND PAINTED HANDMADE GENUINE. Beautifully Adorned Assisi Deruta Hand Painted Bell. NO CRACKS, NO BLEMISHES, NO CHIPS. ONE TINY FLAKE SPOT OF BLACK IS MISSING FROM BLACK AREA ON HANGER, BUT IT'S WHITE, SO IT BLENDS IN WITH THE HASH MARKS. THIS IS A CLASSIC PAINTING PATTERN BY FIMA DERUTA. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER PIECES FLOATING AROUND THE INTERNET ON-LINE THAT EMBRACE THIS PARTICULAR PATTERN--I COULD NOT FIND A NAME OR YEAR OF ISSUE FOR IT (PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK IT'S AROUND THE 70'S): DISTINCTIVE TAN / BEIGE BACKGROUND COLOR, BASE PAINT. TRIM AND BELL HANGER LOOP, DONE IN BLACK. THERE IS SOME LATTICE WORK DONE JUST ABOVE BASE, AS WELL. THE OUTLINE IS BLACK AND THE SQUARE CENTERS HAVE EITHER BLACK OR RED FILLED IN CIRCLES IN THEM. THE BLACK PAINT IS ACCENTED EITHER WITH A RAISED WAVY LINE, OR RAISED DOTS. THE HANGER HAS WHITE HATCH TYPE MARKS BACK AND FRONT. WHITE DOTS SIDE TO SIDE. THE BELL IS MADE FROM A METAL WIRE THREADED THROUGH THE TOP, WITH A HUNK OF CLAY AROUND IT ON THE INSIDE TO MAKE THE BELL. OF COURSE, CLEARLY SIGNED FIMA DERUTA. SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS. HANDMADE CERAMIC CLAY POTTERY. 3.5 INCHES TALL, 2 1/3 INCHES WIDE AT BASE. LOOP IS LARGE AND STURDY FOR GRIPPING, HANGING, RINGING AND USING. SITS NICE FOR DISPLAY. FREE SHIPPING. THANK YOU!
