A hand-decorated Oyster shell ornament.
This design showcases St. Patrick with a Shamrock motif in the background. The delftware blue style complements the gilded edge of the oyster.
St. Patrick and the shamrock have become inextricably linked in Irish folklore and culture over the centuries. St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is said to have used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish during his missionary work in the 5th century.
Displaying this ornament in your home can constantly remind you of the luck and blessings surrounding you.
Whether you’re Irish or appreciate the beauty of this symbol, this Flowing Shamrock ornament is a perfect addition to your home decor.
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.
We have provided a golden metal display stand to showcase the Oyster in the best way possible.
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.
Shells are genuinely one-of-a-kind gifts because no two are alike. They are tumbled by the wild Atlantic Ocean waves and shaped by the changing seasons, resulting in varying sizes and shapes. We work with what nature has given us. Variations such as; growth marks, ragged edges, chipped backs, and barnacles make each one special.
Every shell is individually picked, cleaned, prepared, hand painted and decorated by our artists at our studio in Galway, Ireland.
