Small Shell Dish- Brass
Hand carved and cast in solid brass, the Small Shell Dish carries the language of the shoreline with soft ridges, worn edges, and a form that feels shaped by time. Its scale is intimate, designed for the smallest gestures, yet grounded with a weight that gives it presence.
At 3.5 inches, it moves fluidly between spaces resting beside the sink, on a bedside table, or within the landscape of a meal. It holds what is left behind and what is about to be used. Perfect for your jewelry at the end of the day, a pinch of salt, a slice of lemon, a midnight cigarette, or your cocktail glass.
Over time, the unlacquered brass will deepen and darken, developing a patina that reflects its use each moment leaving behind a trace.
