Japanese Pottery Bell, House Amulet Lotus Flower, Vintage Ornament

This Japanese pottery bell is an unglazed ceramic bell designed as a house amulet featuring the vintage lotus ornament inspired by traditional Japanese roof tile art. Crafted as a temple roof tile replica, this ceramic house amulet showcases the chrysanthemum crest decor famously found on historic temple roof tiles such as those at Chuguji Temple in Nara. Measuring approximately 3.7 inches high, 3.1 inches wide, and 1.6 inches deep (9.5cm × 8cm × 4cm), and weighing 5.7 ounces (162g), this traditional clay bell serves as both a spiritual meditation gift and a zen altar decoration, bringing a touch of authentic Japanese antique figurine charm to your living space.

This unglazed ceramic bell is modeled after the nokimaru-gawara, the circular eave-end tiles featuring the chrysanthemum crest that adorn Chuguji Temple’s roofline, a site deeply connected to Prince Shotoku and the Imperial Family. The chrysanthemum crest decor was historically reserved for prestigious locations, making this vintage lotus ornament not only a decorative piece but also a symbol of heritage and reverence.
