    Description

    You are bidding on a lot of 3 vintage Japanese ceramic bells. They all have a working ceramic striker, each making their own unique sound. Japanese Dorei are considered lucky and make great gifts.
    These bells were originally bought by my Grandfather, an avid Asian antique collector in early 1978. He most likely purchased them in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he lived, or in Japan, where he frequently travelled.
    Please see "Condition Description" and photos for a good idea of condition.
    These collectible bells are the perfect addition to an existing bell collection could be used for props or staging. Also these would be the perfect international holiday gift!
