Tapered Clear Glass Vase with Assorted Seashells

This decorative object consists of a modern, clear glass vase with a slightly tapered, rounded body and an asymmetrical, angled rim. The vase is densely packed with a diverse collection of natural seashells, creating a textured coastal aesthetic. The shells vary significantly in size, species, and color, ranging from creamy whites and pale pinks to deeper tans, oranges, and mottled browns. Visible specimens include various bivalves (scallops and clams), small spiral gastropods (whelks or snails), and weathered fragments. The glass appears to be machine-pressed or mold-blown with a weighted, flat base for stability. Regarding condition, the glass surface shows minor reflections and dust, but no significant chips or cracks are immediately visible. The shells exhibit natural weathering, some with chipped edges and others with a smooth, sun-bleached patina, which is characteristic of beach-combed items rather than pristine specimen shells. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, suggesting this is a contemporary home decor item or a personal craft project from the late 20th to early 21st century. The overall craftsmanship of the glass is of standard commercial quality, while the shell arrangement provides a unique, organic internal structure.
