Shell Bowl

Shell Bowl
Handbuilt by Lily Formato, this shallow ceramic bowl features a luminous swamp green glaze in it's interior, evoking the iridescence and contours of a seashell. The glaze’s depth and variation create a surface that shifts subtly in different light, highlighting the bowl’s soft curvature and open form.

Functions & Uses:

• Decorative Display: Serves as a striking centerpiece or art object on a coffee table, shelf, or mantel.

• Practical Storage: Suitable for holding fruit, keys, jewelry, cosmetics, or small keepsakes.

• Tabletop Service: Can be used for serving dry foods, snacks, or bread (food-safe, microwave/dishwasher-safe).

• Seasonal Styling: Works well as a base for decorative arrangements, such as shells, stones, or a cylinder candle.

Crafted with the precision of an experienced gallerist and artist trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Shell Bowl merges utility and artistry, making it equally at home in daily use or as part of a curated collection.
