Ewww!

Is this a ceramic bell? If so, there may be minute cracks in the glaze
that are harboring mold spores.

Empty it, run it through the dishwasher on sani, if you have that
cycle, then soak it in a bleach solution for an hour or so, then run
it through again. Then try using it.

If it molds after that, chuck it or take it back where you got it and
complain and see if you can find a stainless one.
