Resin Clam Shell Dish, Sculptural Coastal Bowl in 3 Sizes

Size:
In stock
Sale price$399.00

Formed in the shape of a giant clam, this sculptural dish carries all the wave and ripple of the real thing without ever leaving the shelf. The scalloped edge lifts and falls like water, the outer surface is finished with a ridged, weathered texture, and the inside is a smooth chalk white that catches whatever light is in the room.

It is cast in resin, so it stays light enough to move around the house on a whim while holding its shape. Three sizes are offered, from a small catchall at 26cm wide through to an X-Large piece at 69cm that reads as a proper centrepiece. Whichever size lands with you, it suits the same quiet coastal palette: pale timber, linen, stone and unglazed ceramic.

Which size should I choose?

The Small works as a jewellery or key catchall on a vanity or entry table. The Large is the one for a coffee table or console, where it can hold dried botanicals or sit beautifully on its own. The X-Large is a statement, best given clear space on a wide console, a kitchen island or a low shelf.

How do I keep it looking good?

Dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe the interior with a barely damp cloth if it needs it. Keep it out of prolonged direct sun, which can dull any resin piece over time.

What does it look best with?

Stack it on a pair of hardback books to lift it off the surface, then let it sit alone. It also layers well against a timber or stone tray, and against the softer silhouettes in our vase collection.

Why you will love it

  • Sculptural clam form with a scalloped, wave like edge
  • Chalk white interior against a ridged, shell textured base
  • Light enough to restyle easily, sturdy enough to live out on display
  • Three sizes, so you can layer a pair or let one stand alone
  • Reads as coastal without tipping into nautical

Sizes

  • Small: 26cm W x 16cm D x 8cm H
  • Large: 52cm W x 28cm D x 15cm H
  • X-Large: 69cm W x 41cm D x 27cm H

Where it lives best

  • Coffee table: fill it with dried botanicals, beads or a single branch of something sculptural.
  • Entry console: keys, sunglasses and the small things that otherwise end up on the bench.
  • Vanity or bathroom: the Small size is a natural soap or ring dish.
  • Open shelving: the organic curve does good work softening the straight lines of built in joinery.
  • Grouped: two sizes together on a wide console gives you depth without adding clutter.

The pieces styled around the dish are all ours too: the Pussy Willow Bundle in a Ceramic Paper Bag Vase, a pair of Hera Curved Candle Holders, the book The Art of Home, and in another shot the Kaia Stone Vase.

Gifting

An easy one for a housewarming, a wedding gift or anyone who has just moved somewhere with a view. The Small size makes a considered thank you on its own, and pairs neatly with a candle from our coastal collection.

In short

The Resin Clam Shell Dish is a lightweight sculptural bowl shaped like a giant clam, with a scalloped edge, a shell textured exterior and a smooth white interior. It comes in three sizes, from a 26cm catchall to a 69cm centrepiece, and suits coastal, Japandi and quietly modern interiors where one organic shape does more than a shelf full of small pieces.
