an antique or vintage silver-plated (or sterling silver) figural table bell depicting a woman in a crinoline dress, often referred to as a "crinoline lady", "maid bell", or Victorian/Edwardian lady bell.

Key Features:

• Design: Formed as a domed gown with a female figure at the top, typically featuring novelty leg clappers underneath the skirt (frequently produced by makers such as Saunders & Shepherd around the 1920s with registered design numbers like Reg. 680871).
• Dimensions & Weight (typical examples): Roughly 7.8 cm to 8 cm tall and about 5 cm across the base.
The hallmarks and numbers in the image appear to be from Saunders & Shepherd (showing maker's marks like S&S), a well-known British silversmith and jewelry manufacturer, and include a registered design number (Rd 680271 or similar early 20th-century design registration) commonly associated with novelty silver pieces (such as figural bells or pin cushions) crafted around the 1920s
