A beautiful blend of holiday charm and handcrafted silver artistry, this 1996 International Silver Co. Christmas bell is both a collectible keepsake and a timeless décor accent. Formed from silver-plated metal and marked Hand Made – India, the piece showcases a sculpted reindeer in mid-stride perched on top of the bell, its antlers raised high as though leaping into motion. Around the skirt of the bell, matching reindeer silhouettes are cut cleanly through the metal — an elegant detail that casts playful shapes when light passes through.
International Silver produced annual holiday bells throughout the 1990s, and the 1996 reindeer edition has become a favorite among collectors for its whimsical yet classic styling. The silver finish has developed a warm patina over time, bringing depth and vintage character that only age can create. This piece can be polished to a brighter shine or left with its aged luster, depending on your preference.
Whether displayed on a mantel, placed under a Christmas tree, tucked into a holiday village, or given as a meaningful gift, this bell adds a touch of handmade tradition to seasonal décor. The interior still retains its metal clapper, producing a gentle chime when rung — a soft reminder of holidays past and memories yet to be made. Delightfully crafted, easily displayed, and rich with festive charm, it’s a piece that elevates any holiday collection.
