Two more for the collection,both just over 12 inches,the cranberry one has a rooster finial,morning bell? the other still has what I presume is it's original clapper,thought someone might like to see them

[Lustrousstone]

[Lustrousstone]

Gonna keep them in your belfry? 

[keith]

Ooo la la! as our eldest sons  girlfriend says (she is French so it's ok),my belfry is full,no bats

Had a sneaky look through a book on glass bells while at Broadfield house and it seems that these type are probably English and were given as presents at weddings,hence known as 'wedding bells' ,waiting for a book to arrive that may have more info'
