Bells & handbells
One ring and everyone looks up: a Dutch table bell calls the family to dinner, announces pudding or opens a meeting in style. At De Holland Winkel you will find bells with a genuinely Dutch character, from metal handbells topped with a windmill, tulip, bicycle or the kissing couple to ceramic bells in Delft blue. For the festive season there are Delft blue Christmas bells to hang on the tree. Small, affordable and a charming souvenir for the mantelpiece, the dining table or the reception desk.
Buy Dutch table bells: a souvenir you can hear
Most souvenirs sit quietly on a shelf. A table bell doesn't: you pick it up, give it a ring and the whole table falls silent for a moment. In grand households a handbell once stood ready to summon the staff. Today it is more likely to call the children downstairs when dinner is ready, signal a toast or simply be rung because it sounds lovely. That is exactly what makes a table bell a souvenir people actually use.
De Holland Winkel has been selling Dutch souvenirs and gifts since 2002. In this category we have brought together all our bells with a Dutch theme: table bells in metal and ceramic, Delft blue Christmas bells and a few surprising designs with a wink.
Which bells can you choose from?
Metal handbells with Dutch motifs
Silver-coloured, bronze-coloured and copper-coloured handbells featuring a windmill, a tulip or the famous kissing couple. There is also a larger silver-coloured table bell with the word Holland, for anyone after a sturdy, eye-catching piece.
Delft blue and ceramic bells
Ceramic table bells in classic blue and white with Amsterdam scenes, or in cheerful colours with typically Dutch images. A lovely introduction to Delftware for a fraction of the price of a vase or wall plate.
Delft blue Christmas bells
Christmas bells decorated with windmills, floral patterns or the Amsterdam canals. Hang them on the tree, on a branch in a vase or ring them at Christmas dinner. A thoughtful Dutch Christmas gift for friends and family abroad.
Bells with a twist
A table bell with an Amsterdam bicycle, a copper-coloured bell with a cannabis leaf and even a table bell with a built-in bottle opener. Perfect if you are looking for a souvenir that is just a little different.
An original and affordable Dutch gift
Most of our table bells cost between six and ten euros, which makes them a lovely small gift to bring when you visit someone, or an original extra alongside a larger Dutch gift package. They take up little space and are easy to pack in your suitcase or send abroad.
- ✓For hosts: a cheerful thank-you that stays on the table long after the dinner party.

- ✓For visitors and expats: a small piece of Holland for the mantelpiece, with a windmill, tulip or Delft blue.
- ✓For businesses, hotels and B&Bs: a Dutch reception bell that guests can't resist ringing.
Frequently asked questions about table bells
What is the difference between a table bell and a Christmas bell? +
A table bell has a handle and is made to be picked up and rung. Our Delft blue Christmas bells have a hanging loop, so you can hang them on the Christmas tree or a decorative branch. They ring too, so they work perfectly well as both.
Can I have a table bell shipped abroad? +
Yes. We ship our souvenirs within the Netherlands and worldwide. Ceramic and Delft blue bells are packed with care, so they arrive safely with friends or family across the border.
Can I order table bells in larger quantities? +
Certainly. Looking for bells as corporate gifts, for an event or for your hotel reception? Visit our B2B page or email info@hollandwinkel.nl.
Can I add a personal message? +
