Oyster Shell in White Porcelain Bisque – Limoges, c. 2020

White porcelain oyster shell with a highly realistic shape and carefully reproduced irregular contours.

Measuring approximately 11 × 8 cm, the exterior is entirely left in a matte porcelain bisque finish, highlighting the sculpted relief, textured surface and characteristic undulations of the shell. The smooth, slightly recessed interior is coated with a glossy white glaze, creating a subtle contrast between the two finishes.

This small shell can be used as an individual serving dish for a bite-sized treat or a small accompaniment, such as candied ginger, dried fruit, condiments or an appetiser. It can also be displayed on a table as a decorative object, either on its own or arranged with several matching shells.

An original piece that elegantly reinterprets the natural shape of an oyster, transforming it into a small tableware object that is both decorative and functional.
