Some forms arrive already knowing what they are.

The Mini Clam Shell Planter is a hand-cast gypsum catchall shaped after the broad, ridged form of a clam — a wide shallow basin with a deeply textured exterior, a wavy scalloped rim that traces the natural edge of the shell, and a low profile that sits comfortably on any surface. It holds a ring, a stone, a dried petal, a key. The small things a day leaves behind.

Set it on a nightstand, a vanity, a bathroom shelf, or an entryway table. Use it as a jewelry dish, a soap holder, or a decorative object that needs no explanation. It pairs naturally with the Starfish Tray and Sea Turtle Tray as part of the Sunsum coastal collection.

Each piece is hand-cast individually, which means no two are exactly alike. Slight variations in texture, tone, and surface character are inherent to the nature of gypsum casting — and part of what makes your piece distinctly yours.
