Set of 4 ceramic mussel shell plates — sculptural tableware.
The sea, distilled into porcelain gesture: four generous plates modelled after mussel shells, glazed in luminous white with faint tonal shifts like moonlight on water. Their elongated, asymmetrical bodies invite a dining ritual attuned to tide and texture, where every ridge recalls tidal rhythms and every glossy surface reflects a littoral horizon.
Mid‑century biomorphism meets contemporary ecological sensibility here. The plates’ flowing contours echo the mussel’s quiet resilience — a form shaped by current and rock yet rendered with crisp, sculptural clarity. Part functional vessel, part maritime memento, each piece bridges nourishment and narrative, turning the table into a littoral landscape.
Belonging to From the Sea universe, the set speaks of water as memory and transformation. In use or at rest, these shells suggest a silent coastal archaeology: fragments of shoreline recast for future living, poised between utility and reverie.
Only one set available.
