Experience the beauty of this stoneware bird bell in your home, on your porch, or in your garden! Its delightful sound will add joy to any space!
The bird (known as a "Pudgie" - a play on the Budgie) is a wheel-thrown form that has been altered, then textured with a pattern. The bell is hand-built from a textured clay slab. The leaf is cut from a clay slab, then incised.
Handmade chain, studio-made glass bead, and wire-solder connections complete the assembly. These beautiful bird bells are suitable for both indoor and year round outdoor display. As with all handcrafted items, slight variations in color, size, and design are to be expected.
