Peggotty bell - Royal Cornwall 1983

Peggotty bell produced by Royal Cornwall of Japan in 1983. Clara Peggotty is the name of a character and family in Charles Dickens' 1850 novel "David Copperfield". Clara Peggotty, usually referred to as simply Peggotty so as not to confuse her with David's mother who is also named Clara, is the housekeeper of the family home and plays a big part in David's upbringing. Peggotty is the sister of Yarmouth fisherman Daniel Peggotty, and the aunt of Ham Peggotty and Little Em'ly. As a "peggotty" or a "knitting nancy" (also known as a knitting loom) is a knitting device, the name may be a reference to Clara Peggotty's fondness for knitting.
