Beautiful pair of hand-painted porcelain bells, both signed Marie Ward, dated 1982 and 1983. These are not random decorative bells thrown together. They clearly belong as a set.
One bell features a soft floral motif in pastel pinks and greens with a white handle and turquoise-accented rim. The second bell depicts a serene landscape scene with trees, birds in flight, and warm sunset tones, finished with a twisted blue handle and blue-accented rim.
Both bells are artist-signed and dated, with hand-painted details and glazed finishes. Each retains its original clapper and rings clearly. No cracks or chips noted. Minor variation in glaze and brushwork is expected and confirms hand-painted craftsmanship.
Perfect for collectors of signed porcelain, hand-painted decor, or bell collections. Display beautifully together and tell a quiet, artsy early-1980s story without trying too hard.
