About the Item
This elegant set of four vintage silver dishes is delicately shaped like stylized shells. Each piece rests on three small ball feet, lending a sense of lightness and balance to the composition. The marine-inspired design reflects the refined tradition of European tableware from the mid-20th century. Both decorative and functional, the dishes captivate with their soft gleam and organic silhouette.
The sculptural shell form, combined with the fine silverwork and distinctive three-footed base, offers a rare blend of elegance and whimsy. These are not just dishes, they are miniature objets d’art.
In very good vintage condition, the silver is beautifully preserved with a consistent, refined patina that enhances its character.
Ideal as refined catchalls, salt dishes, soap trays, or delicate jewelry holders on a dressing table. Also perfect in a minimal bathroom, an eclectic cabinet of curiosities, or beside a vintage vanity mirror.
