For May I have choosen this dancing couple - as dance into May.
It is the work of German sculptor Siegfried Zimmermann, born in 1927.
He worked mainly in the city of Hannover and surrounding aereas.
First time I came across this bell in the book of Anselm Lange
"Europäische Tischglocken" page 277.
It is one of the few bells I had never seen before and I understand
that only very few copies (if any) exist.
The bell is made of bronze, 14 cms. high, with a remarkable sound, charm
and expression.Double click for a better view!
Always interested in members possessing bells by
Peter Tereszczuk. If possible please send a photo of such bells via E-mail to me. If you like to see details of my collection see the following website:

Another interesting choice, Manfred. I like the way the torsos "grow" out of the base.
You might like to see one along the same theme, a figural marriage of an Art Nouveau couple mounted on an animal bell base (12.5 cm, 5 in). I received the figures like this, don't know how/where they were originally used.
Your bell seems more dynamic - swirling motion; whereas this seems more static - tighter little steps.
1960 vs. 1880?
