Oyster Server - Shell
Shell Oyster Server #1 is a unique statement piece, for lovers of oysters and fine service. Individually hand crafted from clay slabs and coils and sculpted to form beds, which safely hold each oyster upright.
Oysters continue to be a source of inspiration for me, and for many reasons. Firstly, they are delicious. They are a treat, a sometimes food to only enjoy fresh from the ocean or not at all, zero shelf life. They are visually fascinating, fleshy and pudendal and complex upon close inspection. They have the capacity to turn an irritant into a thing of value and beauty. Their shell is paradoxical - smooth, glossy and alluring on one side, rough, textured and sequential on the other.
In this iteration, the oyster is the inspiration for it’s own server. These servers are sculptural in design and make beautiful stand alone pieces on display. Perfect to hold a dozen oysters and designated compartments or spaces for your favourite accompaniment in a dressing or simple citrus wedges. This server has 14 individual compartments.
Shell server had some unpredictable glaze results! Because of that I have chosen to reduce the price - not because it’s faulty but because it’s not what I intended as part of this series.
