Chiming pottery toadstool or mushroom garden ornament

摘要

A glazed pottery garden ornament has the shape of a toadstool or mushroom. It has bell 1 and stalk 2 which are interconnected by flexible connection means 7, such as a stainless steel spring or plastic or rubber tube or rod. This may be connected to the bell 1 and stalk 2 by tapered threaded sections 4,5 respectively. Thus the bell 1 may move, for example in wind, with respect to stalk 2, so that it may collide with the bell of an adjacent ornament producing a sound. The stalk 3 may include a flared portion 2b and a socket 8 to receive the spigot 12 of a mounting spike 11.
