These are Mexican ceramic bells and are quite common. They are crudely made and are not very valuable. The black ceramic that is quite valuable are pottery items made by Maria. Her items are finely detailed and are usually signed. Your bells are made with similar black volcanic clay, but they are not Maria ceramics.
