A little piece of the Mediterranean, cast in ceramic. 🐚
This vintage Italian shell bowl was sculpted in the 1960s–70s, during the golden age of Italian studio ceramics — when Italy’s workshops turned everyday objects into small sculptures.
A few things we love about it:
🐚 The shell is no accident. The conchiglia has been a symbol of beauty, birth, and the sea in Italian art since the Renaissance — the same motif Botticelli painted beneath Venus. Mid-century Italian ceramicists revived it as a nod to that heritage.
🪴 One object, endless roles. Fruit bowl, cachepot, planter, vase for dried stems, or a sculptural centrepiece on its own. It was designed to be lived with, not just looked at.
Circa 1960s–70s · Made in Italy · Ceramic · Excellent vintage condition — no cracks, no chips, beautiful glossy finish. 🤍
Perfectly at home in Coastal, Mediterranean, Grandmillennial, Organic Modern, or Mid-Century interiors.
