A hand-decorated Oyster shell ornament that can be hung or displayed on a sideboard/table.
This is one of our range of Irish Blessings Ceramics. Designed to be hung and displayed throughout the year, and make great gift items.
The ornament is inspired by the illuminated artwork of the Book of Kells.
The Irish Blessing is:
May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it
never fall out.
The edge of the shell is hand-painted in gold ink, and the inside of the shell has a special pearl coating that shimmers through the image. The oyster shell comes with a satin ribbon to hang as an ornament, or it can be removed to display on a shelf/sideboard or used as a trinket dish.
All are presented in an attractive eco-friendly gift/retail box with a window for easy viewing of the item. A removable sticker on the box states, "This is genuine Galway Bay Oyster Shell".
The box interior has eco-friendly paper, which looks attractive and protects the shell from damage. Please note: These are wild natural shells from the west coast of Ireland, and as such, each one is different in size, shape, and markings. The average shell size is 2" x 3", with some shorter and others taller; some wider and others narrower.
