[Ye Xing] Large Scallop Dish | Early Spring Forest Bear, Hedgehog & Bee | Crystal & Jewelry Display Storage

The scallop shell is a symbol of the Camino de Santiago, its radiating lines resembling rays of light, converging from all directions. It represents blessings and protection. Embodying this auspicious meaning, natural scallop shells are meticulously prepared through disinfection, cleaning, sun-drying, and polishing. The decoupage technique is then applied to adhere exclusive patterns. With over 9 layers of varnish applied over multiple days, each piece is a slow, deliberate creation. The design draws inspiration from a forest in early spring, just as the snow melts. Featuring bears, flora, hedgehogs, and bees, the pure white is complemented by a subtle, warm golden hue akin to honey. These are all exclusive patterns and collages by Ye Xing, suitable for various home decor styles. For those who appreciate niche fashion, vintage aesthetics, or support sustainable practices. – ○ Water-repellent; can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. ✕ Not recommended for hot liquids, food, or microwave heating. – ✧ Dimensions: Approximately 10.5 cm in diameter ✧ Material: Natural seashell ✧ Made: Original design and handmade in Taiwan – ✓ Each piece undergoes three stages of cleaning, disinfection, and high-temperature sterilization. ✓ After drying, it is coated with white paint, filled, and polished. ✓ Decoupage and coloring are then applied to the piece. ✓ Finally, a specialized waterproof protective varnish is applied. – △ All products are handmade, and minor imperfections such as slight fabric remnants or natural cracks are inherent to the craft.
