Bring an elegant coastal feel into your home with this distinctive Handmade Vintage Shell Glass Tray, featuring a beautifully detailed antique-style conch shell illustration layered over a softly aged cartographic background.
The large sculptural shell, sepia colouring and faded map details give the piece the character of a vintage natural-history print, making it particularly suited to coastal, heritage and eclectic interiors.
Each glass tray is individually craftsman made using an intricate 16-stage process. Vintage imagery is carefully applied beneath the glass before being built up and sealed with coats of heritage paint and varnish. The edges are finished with gold paint to enhance the aged appearance, while the reverse is backed with felt to help protect furniture surfaces. 
Measuring approximately 33 cm × 16.25 cm, this decorative glass tray can be displayed on a table, console or cabinet, or hung on the wall as a piece of artwork. It also works beautifully grouped with other handmade glass trays and plates to create a unique gallery-style wall display, combining botanical, coastal, animal and vintage designs in different shapes and sizes for an eclectic decorative feature. 
It would also make a distinctive gift for someone who loves seashells, coastal interiors, natural-history illustration, vintage maps or unusual handmade artwork.
