Vintage silver-plated scallop shell dish with two built-in candle cups. Grotto and shell decor are back, and this sculptural piece has an iridescent, oil-slick patina with a moody, old-world feel. The recessed ring at the back likely held a small dip bowl (insert not included). Candle cups fit standard tapers.
Style it as a candlelit centerpiece for a gothic or Halloween table, a mermaidcore or coastal grandmother vanity catchall, a shrimp server, or a trinket or potpourri dish on a maximalist shelf.
Unmarked. Non-magnetic, silver plate over brass.
Measurements (approx.): 12" L x 11" W x 4" H
Condition: Pre-owned vintage. Iridescent tarnish, pitting spots in bowl, plating wear on rim and underside, sticker residue on bottom. Structurally sound, candle cups secure. Not polished. Appears to have been designed without feet; no signs of missing or broken feet. Sits flat on its base. Candle cups secured with nuts underneath.
Please examine all photos closely before purchasing, as they are part of the description. Measurements are approximate, and pre-owned items may have minor variances or imperfections consistent with age and use.
