This vintage pottery bell features the iconic Okame face charm, a traditional Japanese small bell known for bringing good fortune and happiness. Measuring approximately 7.5 cm tall, 5 cm wide, and 6 cm deep (3in × 2in × 2.4in), this earthenware ornament weighs just 68 grams (2.4 oz) and is crafted from unglazed ceramic. The smiling woman mask, representing the Okame or Otafuku figure, is a beloved Japanese good luck doll motif that has been cherished since the Edo period pottery era (1603-1868). Originally a traditional Japanese toy and fortune bringing ornament, this Christmas pottery bell and Japanese New Year decor serves as both a charming antique figurine and a symbol to ward off evil spirits.


Expertly handmade as an authentic Japanese antique figurine, this unglazed ceramic bell carries the rich cultural heritage of Edo period pottery. Its durable earthenware construction ensures lasting beauty, while its unique design makes it a perfect addition to any collection or a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate traditional Japanese crafts.
