Oyster art from Amsterdam
Real oyster shells made by hand
We collect every shell on the shores of the Eastern Scheldt in Zeeland. In our studio in Amsterdam we clean it, apply the design by hand and finish it with a rim of real gold leaf. That turns an oyster shell into a small work of art you can actually use.
Our oysters
From the beach to your bedside table
We only use empty shells that we collect ourselves along the Eastern Scheldt. Once cleaned, we apply the design by hand: Delft blue, Amsterdam canal houses, birds, fish or flowers. Then comes the gold rim and a glossy finish.
No two oysters grow the same, so every shell differs in shape and colour. You always get a one-of-a-kind piece.
What do you use an oyster shell for?
An oyster shell is a natural little dish. A few ideas:
- on the bedside table for rings and earrings
- in the hallway for keys
- as a small artwork on the windowsill or framed on the wall
- with a ribbon in the Christmas tree
Three sizes
Most designs come in Tiny (up to 9 cm) from €25, Medium (up to 12 cm) and Large (13–18 cm). You'll find the price per size with each design.
