Bright Orange 1950s Countertop Bell Japanese traditional pottery displayed flat on a tableWhat a happy bell this is, and how useful for so many purposes! Great by the shop register, for sure, but also pretty handy at home if you have someone to wait on you. Even if not, it's pretty fun to ring anyway! 3" x 2. 5" inches and in great vintage condition.
