Shape & Form

It began as a large conch shell, recognizable by its flared lip and gently spiraling body. The upper portion has been carefully cut away, creating a shallow, open vessel while preserving the natural flowing contours. The bowl rests on a small, rounded base—crafted from part of another shell—which elevates it and gives it stability.

Color & Finish

The shell displays soft, natural gradients of pink, cream, and pale coral. Inside, the surface is smooth and glossy, with blush pink blending into ivory. On the outside, golden-beige tones mix with polished rose hues, highlighting the natural beauty of the shell’s growth lines. The glossy finish enhances its elegance, making it appear almost like porcelain.

Function & Feel

The bowl balances artistry with utility: it could serve as a catchall for jewelry, a decorative centerpiece, or a vessel for displaying smaller shells or natural elements. Its elevated base lifts it slightly off the surface, adding a sculptural quality and a sense of refinement. See less
