Vintage Cast Lead Shell Form Bird Bath, circa 1920's. Stylized'Dolphin base.' Heavy cast lead with aged patina.

An exceptional and highly collectible vintage Southwestern studio-art wind bell, designed by artist Jeff Cross (d. 1977) for his legendary workshop, Harmony Hollow Bell Works, circa early 1970s. Hand-cast during the studio's foundational years in Arizona, this piece heavily channels the desert modernism and brutalist architectural form popularized by legendary architect and artist Paolo Soleri. The bell features a beautifully weighted, hand-cast bronze cap displaying a spectacular, naturally aged emerald verdigris patina that highlights its rich surface texture. Suspended from a beautifully sculpted, heavy double-curved cast bronze S-hook hanger, the bell's internal clapper terminates in a hand-cut, organically shaped sheet copper sail. Signed HH & BW bell works. A wonderful example of mid-century American studio metalwork, this bell produces a deep, resonant, and remarkably pure musical tone when caught by the wind. Offered in excellent vintage condition with an incredibly rich, completely uncleaned original patina and fully intact, structurally sound chain linkage. Jeff Cross founded Harmony Hollow Bell Works and began making his cast-bronze bells in 1969 in Arizona. Taught by his father—a metallurgist who managed foundries during World War II—Jeff was able to realize his dream of becoming a master bell-maker and creating high-quality bronze designs, running the studio until his passing in 1977.

A striking 23.25-inch cast bronze sculptural wind bell designed by visionary Italian-born architect, urban planner, and artist Paolo Soleri (1919–2013). Handcrafted at his celebrated Cosanti studio in Paradise Valley, Arizona, this mid-century architectural bell showcases an outstanding naturally weathered verdigris patina. Cast using Soleri’s signature earth-casting metal technique, the bell features geometric Brutalist relief motifs along the main sound chamber, suspended from an articulated sculptural top link and finished below with a folded geometric copper wind-sail fin. Features the official cast Cosanti studio monogram / cipher on the side of the bell chamber. A rare, out-of-production vintage casting featuring iconic Soleri design language that bridges functional art and kinetic sculpture. Paolo Soleri (1919-2013), the founder of Cosanti and Arcosanti, was an important artist, architecture, philosopher and urban planner. The Italian architect studied with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona, and at Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin. He would make his home and studio, Cosanti, near Taliesin West.
