Blues into greens into purples, the color changing with the angle of the light and the angle of the eye, the ocean’s own iridescence preserved in the shell long after the animal is gone. Someone understood that this material and the owl were made for each other. The figurine catches light the way only shell can, the natural shimmer giving the bird a luminous quality that mid-century decorative art understood instinctively: some materials are already beautiful, and the craft is knowing when to let them speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause abalone shell and the owl are a pairing that mid-century decorative art got exactly right. Because iridescent natural material in a figurine this well-made is increasingly hard to find. Because some objects are already beautiful, and the craft is knowing when to let them speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ ABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne available.
