Vintage Japanese Porcelain Hand Bell – Midnight Blue with Gold Peacocks

An elegant vintage porcelain hand bell made in Japan, finished in a rich midnight-blue glaze and decorated with finely detailed gilt peacocks and floral motifs. The bell’s sculptural form, narrow handle, and softly flared base give it a refined, almost ceremonial presence.
The interior shows the original hanging striker intact, producing a clear, delicate ring when used. Gold detailing remains bright with light, age-appropriate wear, adding to its authenticity and charm rather than detracting from it.
This is the kind of object that was never meant to be hidden away — perfect for a desk, entry table, curio cabinet, or as a distinctive accent in a thoughtfully layered interior.
