This wind chime has an amazing Copper Foil attached to a phenomenal Ceramic Bell and Hammer hanging from the original formed chain. It measures approximately 38” from top of chain to edge of foil and the bell itself Is approximately 25” circumference by 9” Tall and 11” from top of bell to tip of hammer.Lovely colors in this ceramic bell are created by the firing process and age. This ceramic is quite thick and substantial and has survived the test of time and ...is in amazing shape with no visible damage, cracks, chips or repairs. This bell was created in the 1970’s according to the family of the original owner who purchased it from Paolo Soleri at the foundry. The sound is extremely pleasant as well. Ceramic lends to a deep and lovely tone.We lived down the road from Cossanti Studio when Paolo Soleri worked his foundry only a few miles from Taliesin Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio and architecture school. We still enjoy touring the foundry. We met and had the pleasure of watching Paolo Solery create his bells and molds. He built both Cosanti and Arcosanti (further up the Mugiollon Rim) and both are still creating cast bells. Paolo Soleri (1919-2013) Italian born architect, urban theorist, craftsman, and philosopher established his design and craft studios in 1955. In his lifetime Soleri received many awards throughout the world.
