25. Vintage Delft-Style Porcelain Dutch Milkmaid Bell Figurine with Hanging Pails

This listing is for this vintage Delft-style porcelain figural table bell. It features a traditional Dutch milkmaid in a bell-shaped dress with a delicate blue-and-white floral pattern and elegant gold trim highlights along the yoke, dress, and base. It serves as a beautiful accent piece for a Delftware collection, cottagecore shelf styling, or vintage home decor. The most unique aspect of this porcelain figurine is its functional design as a table bell. It does not utilize a traditional internal clapper; instead, the two miniature ceramic water pails are suspended from gold cords and swing freely to strike against the outer sides of the bell-shaped skirt, creating a soft, pleasant chime. This item is in great vintage condition with a clean, glossy finish. There are no major chips, cracks, or breaks on the body, and both hanging buckets and cords remain fully intact and functional. It shows only minor vintage wear to the gold accents consistent with its age, which adds to its classic charm. Please view all of the photos for overall condition.
