This listing is for a pottery bell made around 10 years ago.  It is made of high-fired stoneware and coated in blue/blue-purple glaze.  There’s a small loop on top for attached string or a ribbon, and it makes a pleasant sound as the small clay ball rolls around inside.  The signature of the potter can be found on the bottom and reads as ‘Omushi’.

Pottery bells, or dorei as they are known in Japanese, are usually sold as souvenirs and can be found all over Japan. Dorei usually have a coloured string attached through a hole on top and contain a hard ceramic ball inside that clatters when shaken or moved around. Traditionally they were purchased as lucky charms from temples or shrines, but these days you can buy them as mementos of places you have visited.
