A vintage mother of pearl shell basket, carved into a footed compote form with a leaf and feather motif inside the bowl. The shell is iridescent throughout, shifting between cream, soft pink, and pale green depending on the light. 

Works as a trinket holder, a jewelry dish, or a fun way to serve salt at the table. The rim is naturally irregular, the kind of edge that comes from the shell itself rather than damage. The carved detail is clear and the iridescence is intact. Small, footed, and genuinely one of a kind in every sense. There is only one.
