Japanese old vintage pottery bell traditional folk toys dog-shaped doll animal ornament with Kanji H2.8in/H7cm.
This is a type of folk toy called 下川原焼 Shita kawara-yaki. Shita kawara ware originated in the late Edo period when the feudal lord of Tsugaru (present-day Aomori Prefecture) ordered the production of clay figurines as children's toys.
This clay bell is a very rare clay bell with a dog's face on it. At first glance, it is difficult to tell that it is a dog, but its unique and relaxed atmosphere will bring a smile to your face. These clay bells, made in Aomori, come in a wide variety of types and are still loved by collectors in Japan today.
