Description

 I am attempting to find the value of this piece for a woman in her 80's. Her deceased aunt was the previous owner.  She believes it was made by Tiffany.  The exterior bell shape has edging and veins reminicent to that of a leaf, with intensionally placed holes that appear to have been 'eaten' by the adjacent crab to each one.  There is also a bird that was fixed to the top where one was intended to push for the sounding bell.  The bird is present but needs to be re-soldered into place.  The metal appears to be brass?  The sound is excellent.
