Shell Dwellings / Porcelain

Porcelain shells with windows and doors? Yes, that's exactly right.

When the tide retreats, the sea leaves behind not empty shells but small habitats used by many little creatures. But here is a different story — of imagined, unreal, and secret lives that never were, of creatures born from the whisper of waves and the tilt of sunlight, who built towns of porcelain and sand only to vanish the moment you turn your gaze. Each porcelain shell has a window for curiosity and a door for dreams, as if unseen tide-born creatures built their own seaside town and simply wandered off. 

These small porcelain ornaments were created using moulds taken from actual beach finds, then fashioned in porcelain, glazed and fired at high temperature to achieve its ivory colour and vitrified consistency.

The shell homes are only sold as a set. They were made in a single version and represent one-of-a-kind pieces.
