The timeless design of this handmade vintage style scallop shell dish provides a decorative and useful decorative accord in your home, whether on a dressing/vanity table, bedside cabinet, desk or coffee table.

All items are handmade, generally to order. Each scallop shell has been cleaned and the design added using a decoupage technique before the edges of the shell has been gilded in a rich shade of gold paint, the reverse in a soft power blue. Finally the shell is given many coats of varnish to add shine and depth as well as protection. The high gloss finish gives the impression of porcelain. XL scallop shells measure 12 – 13 cm width at their widest point.

The scallop shell arrives packaged in a Kraft gift box in a nest of tissue paper  after being placed in a natural cotton presentation bag. As these shells are a natural product and are restyled/upcycled, not mass produced, there can be variation in the size, shape and placement of design. This makes each trinket dish truly unique!

To care for your shells it is recommended to clean them using a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse in water or place in areas of high humidity or damp. The scallop shell is intended to use as a trinket/nibbles dish or ornament, not for serving hot food or burning candles/melts/tea lights etc. Do not heat in the oven or microwave. If using as a bonbon/candy dish wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry gently with a dry cloth after use.
