Description from the seller

Exceptional decorative piece made entirely from natural marine shells, hand-assembled following the traditional coastal craftsmanship technique. An original amphora-shaped vase with sizeable handles stands out for the meticulous labor of polished, selected shells, placed one by one in a continuous pattern. Around the 1970s, in the second half of the 20th century.

The vase presents a classic amphora form, with a rounded body, narrow neck, and lateral handles formed also by threaded shells. The piece stands out for its craftsmanship, its natural aesthetics, and its decorative character, ideal for Mediterranean, coastal, Boho, or marine craft collection settings.
