Vintage mid century Japan porcelain bell and similar items

These vintage mid-century porcelain bell Christmas ornaments stand 3" tall (not including the little loop on top) and are painted an alternating red and dark green with gold and white accents. I don't know the manufacturer and I haven't been able to find any others like them, but they do have their "Japan" stickers inside. They are hand-painted and each has their original gold-colored thread/cord that they hang from. The clapper inside each one is suspended on a wire that threads back up through a hole in the top of the bell, and then it's wrapped around the loop that the gold cord is also attached to. Condition is really excellent. There are no chips or cracks, the paint looks bright and glossy, and they really don't show any wear that I can see. You may notice a small white spot at the bottom corner of one bell, but it's not a chip, just appears to be a small flaw in the paint from the manufacturer. They're quite unique and interesting, and they'll make a lovely addition to your vintage holiday decor. Asking $12.00 obo for the pair. Everything I have listed for sale is "or best offer", so feel free to make an offer. ~~~~~ ALL ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICKUP. I sell a huge variety of stuff to supplement my income and help me put the last of my kids through college. Some items come from flea markets or estate sales, and some come from around our home, but many items come to me from my extended family of hardcore hoarders. So, the variety really can be vast and unpredictable. Please check back often, because you really never know what I will have from one day to the next! Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
