Description
HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS!!
Rare Santa Claus Hand Bell made at the Imperial factory after the bankruptcy by New Imperial Glass Co. This was a special order for Mary Walrath and was color limited to 200 pieces in Green Carnival Glass, however, many of these were made with Silver iridescence—this is multi-color. This was the last glass to be turned out of the Imperial Factory.
The bottom edge has a row of Santas holding hands all around. The middle has Santa & Sleigh & Reindeer, Pine Trees, Little Church in the Vale, Pine Trees. Above the trees in one spot is a large Star. The pattern on the handle reminds me of Plume Panels. This one comes with Purple, Blue & Yellow iridescence.
Signed N over I for New Imperial.
Circa 1984.
