DeGrazia Sandstone Creations Bell

Vintage Sandstone Creations ceramic wind bell authorized by the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun, featuring imagery adapted from the work of Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia. The hand-painted design depicts a Southwestern Native American mother and child, with an additional cradleboard baby motif on the reverse. The bell retains its substantial ceramic clapper, black braided hanging cord, and original informational hang tags. The accompanying tag identifies the design as “The Blessing” and includes biographical information about DeGrazia, while the care tag identifies it as a hand-painted ceramic wind bell made by Sandstone Creations of Phoenix, Arizona and authorized by the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun. A particularly nice example for collectors due to the surviving original tags.
