Vintage Italian Snail & Shell Ceramic Dish Duo — Whimsical Coastal Luxury

An enchanting pair of sculptural snail-and-shell dishes that merge seaside whimsy with European refinement. Each piece is hand-glazed in luminous ivory and accented with intricate naturalistic detailing — the larger dish crowned by a stately snail perched on a fan shell, and the smaller featuring twin scalloped wells linked by a brass handle. Whether styled as candy or condiment servers, vanity catchalls, or displayed as objets d’art, these pieces exude an effortless coastal sophistication that nods to mid-century Italian and French ceramic traditions. Details • Set of two coordinating ceramic snail shell dishes • Ivory glaze with hand-painted snail and foliage accents • Brass handle on the smaller piece • Larger dish approx. 10” wide; smaller approx. 7” • Both in great condition except the minor chip on the bigger tray- see pics Style Notes: Perfect for a Palm Beach Regency interior, a Hamptons-inspired tablescape, or any vignette that calls for an elegant touch of coastal surrealism. vintage ceramic snail dish, Italian majolica, coastal decor, Palm Beach chic, shell serving bowl, ocean motif, whimsical luxury, mid century pottery, sea life collectible, grandmillennial coastal
