Pillivuyt Porcelain Shell Bowl

Item Type: Pre-Loved

A small white shell to set at each place — for oysters, for salt, for a single fig — the kind of detail that quietly lifts a table.

Pillivuyt porcelain in the form of a scallop shell, moulded with the ridged fan that gives the shape its name. Bright white, all-over glaze, with the weight and translucence that mark true French porcelain. Sold individually — build the number you need.

Pillivuyt has made porcelain in Mehun-sur-Yèvre since 1818, its kitchen and tableware prized for a body that takes the oven, the table, and decades of use without flinching. Shell-form dishes like these were a staple of French entertaining, equally at home under seafood or as a small serving piece.
