About the Item
A striking example of French popular craftsmanship from the 1970s, this vase is entirely composed of natural seashells meticulously strung on wire, creating a sculptural yet decorative form. Its silhouette echoes ancient amphoras, reimagined with a poetic touch using natural maritime materials.
Each shell, carefully threaded and arranged, produces a subtle interplay of textures and shades, ranging from pearly beige to deeper brown tones. This piece is a testament to authentic artisanal skill and a 1970s appreciation for natural materials, making it a unique and one-of-a-kind object.
Primarily decorative, it is not water-safe, yet it stands out as a sculptural element—perfect for a bohemian, coastal interior or a cabinet of curiosities.
