Island Plantations introduces the Capiz Shell Art Collection. This piece is handcrafted of pearlescent Capiz shells providing both form and function. Each is finished with a food-safe glaze and a final lacquer to ensure timeless brilliance. While these Capiz shell pieces may appear delicate, they are actually very durable, providing lasting heirlooms for family or friends. The Capiz shell can be found in the shallow coastal waters of the Philippine island of Capiz. These thin, semi-transparent shells emit a beautiful, iridescent shimmer when touched by light. Gold finished capiz complements intricately woven saha, or natural banana fiber, for the perfect table accent.
