Gold Shell Ritual Bowl

£25.00
Taxes included.
Description

Handmade in Bali, Indonesia, from capiz shell. Each fragment is cut, polished, and pieced together by hand, then finished with a light resin coating that gives the bowl its strength and soft, pearl-like sheen. No two are quite the same.

A ritual bowl is one of those objects that earns its place slowly. Use it to catch the ash from burning palo santo or sage, as a resting spot for a single crystal you keep coming back to, or simply as somewhere to set down rings and jewellery at the end of the day.

 Some people keep one by the bed, others on a windowsill where the light catches the shell. However it's used, it becomes part of a small, repeated moment, the kind that marks a pause in the day rather than another task in it.

 
Benefits

Handmade in Bali from capiz shell, a natural byproduct material

Each piece is one-of-one, shell placement and light-catch vary slightly bowl to bowl

Lightweight, easy to move between spaces
Ritual

Use your bowl as a resting place for the ordinary sacred: burning palo santo or sage, collecting the ash, holding a single crystal you return to each morning. Some keep it by the bed for rings and pendants at night.

Sustainability

Capiz is a byproduct of the local seafood trade, not something harvested for its shell alone; the oyster is eaten first, and what would otherwise be discarded is cut, polished, and pieced together by hand into something worth keeping.
