A good find in Limerick when we were visiting relatives.
Brass ships bell with the legends 'DREAM 1856' painted in red.
Most likely a salvage/ocean floor find. With the amount of wear on it, it would suggest a good bit of rolling around on the seabed. Either that or a very hard life indeed!
The height is 23cm high x 32cm diameter to the base.
The weight is 16.6kg
