Fifteen centimeters from end to end of the shells, but a \u003cstrong\u003eflat base of only about ten centimeters\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eSold individually.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and manufacturing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cowrie shells are whole, sanded on the back to allow the thread to pass through, and no two are exactly the same size. There are about twenty of them around the edge, each held by its own knot, which explains why they don't all hang at the same angle. The central rattan is tightly spiral-woven and left natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle and decoration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contrast is everything: a matte brown center, a pearly cream crown that catches the light. The result evokes a flower rather than a table accessory, and it stands perfectly on its own on a console or shelf, without a glass on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDaily use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shells are thicker than the braiding, so they form a bulge: a wide-stemmed glass that extends beyond the central disk will tilt slightly. Reserve this piece for glasses and cups with narrow bases, such as a tumbler or a coffee cup rather than a wine glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCowrie is limestone, like an eggshell: an acidic product or very hot water will dull its pearly luster, with no possibility of restoration. Clean each shell with a dry cloth, never with a sponge, whose abrasive material will scratch the polish. Check the cotton knots from time to time; this is always where the piece fails, and re-tie a shell that starts to come loose as quickly as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bazar Bizar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54469193007431,"sku":"BAGE006NBr","price":8.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/8000\/8263\/files\/dessous-de-verre-colonial-rotin-coquillages-15-cm.jpg?v=1785416990","url":"https:\/\/www.fenalor.com\/en\/products\/colonial-rattan-and-shell-coaster-15-cm","provider":"Fenalor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
