About the Item

Set of 2 Mother-of-Pearl Catchalls - Shell Decorative Bowls or Dishes, 1970s Pair of large natural pearl oyster shells featuring a thick, luminous nacre with iridescent tones ranging from silvery white to soft gray and subtle violet hues. Selected for their exceptional scale and organic beauty, these shells can be used as catchall dishes, decorative bowls, jewelry trays, or displayed on their own as sculptural natural objects. Their asymmetrical form and shimmering nacre reflect the light beautifully! Of French Polynesia origin, these shells come from pearl oysters of the Pinctada genus, traditionally harvested for their nacre and pearls. The exterior surfaces retain natural texture and mineral patina, creating a striking contrast with the smooth, iridescent interior. Ideal for styling on a console, coffee table, vanity, or bedside table. Dimensions (approx.) : 23 × 21 cm each
