This charming set of Mino-yaki (美濃焼) dorei clay bells features three delicate female figures, each hand-painted with soft expressions and traditional accessories such as a fan, floral bouquet, or hair ornament. Crafted from fine white clay, the rounded form and smooth matte surface give each bell a serene and elegant presence.
Rooted in over 1,300 years of ceramic tradition, Mino ware from Gifu Prefecture is celebrated for its variety and refined craftsmanship. These bells reflect that legacy with their careful modeling and vibrant but balanced detailing in red, gold, and green.
Each bell contains a small clay pellet that creates a soft, clear chime when shaken—making them not only beautiful as decorations, but also soothing as sound charms. In Japanese culture, dorei bells are believed to invite good fortune and protection, especially when displayed in the home or gifted during festivals or celebrations.
This set is perfect for collectors of Japanese folk crafts, or as a refined gift representing traditional femininity, grace, and auspicious charm.
