Large Abalone Shell Iridescent Mother of Pearl Dish Smudge Bowl 14cm

A large natural abalone shell, 14.5 x 12cm, with a richly iridescent interior in shifting silver, blue, green, and pink — the characteristic mother of pearl that makes abalone shells so visually compelling. The exterior is the natural rough shell texture in pale cream and grey. The shell sits flat and makes a generous natural dish, smudge bowl, jewellery holder, or decorative object. There is a chip to one side of the rim, clearly visible in the photographs and reflected in the price. Otherwise in good condition — no cracks or further damage. Dimensions: 14.5 x 12cm.
