Russ Berrie St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun Jingle Bell Ornament

This is a whimsical St. Patrick's Day hanging ornament featuring a leprechaun figure emerging from a large jingle bell. The item is approximately 3 to 4 inches in height, constructed from a combination of molded plastic/resin for the character bust and a metallic-finished metal for the bell base. The leprechaun is depicted with a frosted white beard, a green glittered vest, and a tall black top hat finished with a green glitter band and a gold-tone buckle. The face is painted with simple details, including rosy cheeks and blue eyes. The bell base is finished in a vibrant, reflective emerald green metallic coating. A clear nylon filament cord is attached to a loop at the top of the hat for hanging. The item retains its original retail hang tag which identifies it as item #49025 - LEPRECHAUN, produced by Russ Berrie (as indicated by the website URL on the tag) and manufactured in China. The condition appears to be excellent, appearing as 'New Old Stock' (NOS) with no visible paint loss, glitter shedding, or denting to the bell. Based on the styling and manufacturer, this item likely dates from the late 1990s to early 2010s. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced seasonal giftware of that era, utilizing bright colors and mixed textures (matte, glitter, and metallic) to enhance visual appeal.
