✨ The Perfect Gift:
A thoughtful choice for bird lovers, coastal décor enthusiasts, weddings, anniversaries, or unique housewarming presents. Each piece is original, making it as special as the person receiving it.
🌿 Bringing Nature Indoors:
Inspired by the stunning Dorset coastline, each shell is individually handcrafted in my Surrey studio. With its delicate blue porcelain bird design, shimmering gold edging, and glossy pearl finish, this oyster shell dish is both practical and decorative — a truly unique keepsake.
🖐 Process:
These shells come straight from the beautiful shores of Dorset and the South East coastlines. Once back in my studio, each one is thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed, then left to air dry. After the design is applied, the shell is finished with gilded gold leaf and sealed with a crystal-clear resin for a durable, high-gloss finish.
🐚 Shells:
Each oyster shell dish will have subtle variations in natural size, shape, and depth, and in how the design sits on the shell. This is part of what makes every piece completely unique and one of a kind.

The shells are wrapped in white tissue paper and are then presented in a natural, branded, sustainable gift box, nestled in white shredded & recycled paper to protect the shell on its journey.
A wonderful self indulgent treat for you or a thoughtful gift to show your love for that special someone ❤️

My shells are uniquely sealed with a hard wearing gloss epoxy resin which is water resistant but I as a precaution I do not recommend submerging the shells in water and they are not dishwasher safe. Please wipe with a soft cloth.
