A gorgeous large majolica cheese bell on stand by George Jones. Set on a bright turquoise ground overlaid with apple blossom flowers and an apple tree branch to form the handle. There is a wide band of moulded woven basket effect which is matched also around the edge of the stand. The base marked with the impressed factory mark and Victorian registration mark for the year 1873. It has the partial model number 80 in black and the inside of the bell has the model number 3240 80.

It measures 32cm (12 1/3") high. The bell measures 22.5cm (9 7/8") wide and the stand is 28.5cm (11 1/4") wide.
