Wind bell No. 17

Raw — Brown Mountain

$58

Thrown by hand from Brown Mountain clay and left raw — no glaze, just bare clay and the marks of the wheel. It hangs from a solid brass chain to a solid copper fin, both chosen because they'll never rust; instead they age into a deep, darkening patina over time. This one's fin has been aged already, so it arrives warmed with color. The bell rings light and soft, a subtle, pleasant note that drifts on a breeze. Bell and clapper measure 2" wide by 3" tall, with a 12" total drop from chain to fin. One of a kind, made once and never repeated.
