Sardines Porcelain Trinket Dish

"Sea la Vie" looped in cobalt script across a blush well, with five painted shells — cone, conch, cowrie, scallop, top shell. Scalloped gold line, white rim, gold dots all the way round. 4.5 in. Food-safe, hand wash only.

A whole open sardine tin embroidered on washed maroon — three fish with blue-striped backs, a green SARDINE label, lid peeled back on its key. About two inches wide. Soft crown, one size, antique-brass tab at the back.

Hand-cut acetate in smoky clear, set with daisies — named for the eclipta, the false daisy. About 5 in, the biggest claw in the line, so it actually holds thick hair. Sold singly.

A real crab set whole in clear resin — legs, claws, the fine shell detail all kept. 3 in square, an inch deep. Size and the set of the legs vary from one to the next.

A real starfish in clear resin, arms reaching to the corners, the orange and tan holding and the skin texture still readable. 3 in square, an inch deep.
