The decorative shell originates from Italy and was crafted in the 1970s. It is handmade and made of porcelain or high-quality faience. The surface is coated with an iridescent glaze that creates soft rainbow effects in the light. Such forms were particularly popular from the 1960s to the 1980s and were often offered by Italian, German, and Spanish manufacturers as luxurious decorative elements. The shell can be used purely decoratively as well as practically, for example as a bowl for sweets or small items. Its iridescent surface particularly beautifully highlights the organic shape. The object is in its original condition; slight scratches and normal signs of wear may be present.
