Rare Bing & Grondahl 1978 New Year Bell - Notre Dame

We offer today a rare example of a superb bell, produced by Bing & Grondahl (now Royal Copenhagen) in Denmark, for your collection or as a present to remind somebody about the good old days.

This beauty is one in a series of bells produced for the New Year celebrations in the period 1974 to 1987. We offer this rare and so collectable beauty in a very good used condition.

Please check the photos for details of this stunning work of art which has the Notre Dame de Paris as a motif. You may recall that fire almost destroyed that world-famous church a couple of years ago.

The bell has the inscription: Ring out the old. Ring in the new. Ring out wild bells. This text was adapted from the beginning of a poem written by Alfred Tennyson in the 19th century. Inside the bell it has the manufacturer’s traditional markings and the product number 9678.

The bell has a beautiful PING to it with its original wooden pendulum. We will ship it safely with in the original packaging (polystyrene and the aged box) included.

PS Almost forgot. The bell is 13 cm tall and measures 10 cm across at its base. The box measures 14 cm by 15.5 cm. pls note that the packaging shows its age. pls note also that we are slowly downsizing so there cold be a few more interesting items for you (incl more Royal Copenhagen, some Wedgwood, also some museum pieces for your collection, for your retro kitchen or the man cave) and we could combine postage.
