Beautifully hand-crafted oyster plate featuring six real oyster shell “wells” set around a “Royal Doulton” like gold and wedgwood blue patterned porcelain dinner plate, accented with a “sauce bowl” made from a vintage porcelian salt/nut bowl with a delicate blue flower. Quartz beach glass which fills the plate bottom like melting ice, and a single real 7mm pearl adorns one of the oyster shells wells. Each hand selected 3 inch Chesapeake Bay oyster shell gets ground down on the back to make it sit properly on the plate, the hing is then touched up with black and brown paint, and finally the shell is sealed with a high gloss resin to enhance the shell’s colorful nacre interior which gives it a fresh-shucked wet look. The sea glass “melting ice” has also been sealed with a high gloss resin. Oyster plate diameter – 10 1/2 inches. Hand-wash only. The result – an oyster plate so fresh looking you can almost taste the cool salty oysters! Perfect for any wedding, house warming, or seasonal gift for the oyster-obsessed friend or family member.
