I designed this piece a few years ago while fiddling with some shells I had collected on the beach. I liked the smooth natural way the shell fit in my hand and it occured to me that the shape is elegant for practical use. This design, along with a stack of others, sat in a lonely file since then because I haven't had the resources to fire anything. But since I moved to a larger city and found a reasonably priced supplier to rent me kiln space this design has come to fruition. More to follow.
