This striking Yellow Shell vessel carries the spirit of Florida’s Gulf Coast in the 1970s — sunlit, nautical, and full of seaside charm. Originally crafted in Venice, Florida, this seashell-inspired ceramic planter once held flowers, shells, or small treasures collected from the shore. Its scalloped rim and textured shell relief capture the softness of waves meeting the sand, transforming coastal memories into a sculptural object.
Now, reimagined by House of Eugenie, it begins a luminous new chapter as a hand-poured candle. When lit, the warm glow reflects against its sunny yellow glaze, echoing summer evenings by the sea — salt air, long shadows, and a golden horizon. It feels nostalgic, joyful, and effortlessly coastal.
Revived with intention and artistry, the Yellow Shell is not only a candle but a preserved moment of mid-century coastal life, ready to bring a touch of beach-cottage elegance into any home.
