Freedom Bell

This is a bell (called the freedom or Freiheits bell) handpainted in gold made by KPM and dated October 24, 1950 ( for the rebuilding after WWII). It is handpainted on relief designs of people holding torches in a circle all around the piece as well as a leaf design and the saying on the bottom rim: That This World Under God Shall Have A New Birth Of Freedom. A very fitting saying even today. Top is written Berlin 24-10-1950. The bell is in perfect condition and comes with a painted black wooden stand so that the ringer doesn't get damaged. Marked inside with the underglaze blue scepter mark as well as the overglaze red KPM orb mark showing it was painted by KPM. Also some artists mark in black Pr 101 b and some other marks. The bell is 4.75 inches tall and 4.125 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $99
