There are "minor third bells" (e.g., church bells) and "major third bells".
The correct terminology in the context of bells is "prime" and "tierce" (not "fundamental" and "second harmonic"; as user1079505 notes, "It's not a harmonic if it doesn't follow harmonic series.").
Table 6.2 of Sethares, Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale (p. 117) gives the partials:

Ibid. p. 116:
Traditional church bells tuned this way are called “minor third” bells because of the interval 1.2, which is exactly the just minor third 6/5. Bell makers have recently figured out how to shape a bell in which the tierce becomes 1.25, which is the just major third 5/4. These are called “major third” bells.
For example, this bell is a very good "minor third bell":
