Capiz shell is the outer shell of the marine mollusc Placuna placenta, commonly known as the "windowpane oyster." These oysters are primarily found in the shallow coastal waters around the Philippines, particularly near the province of Capiz, from which the shell gets its name.
Capiz shells are known for their unique, translucent quality and pearly lustre. When polished and flattened, the shells become almost glass-like, allowing light to pass through while displaying an iridescent shimmer. This quality has made Capiz shells a popular material for decorative items, such as lampshades, chandeliers, plates, and window panes.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, Capiz shells are lightweight yet durable, making them ideal for a variety of crafts and household items. Their natural beauty, combined with their ability to be shaped and manipulated into different forms, has made them a favoured material in both traditional and contemporary design.
What makes this plate truly special is that it comes in its original box with all labels intact, preserving its authenticity and ensuring it arrives in pristine condition. Whether you're adding to your collection or gifting it to someone with an eye for unique decor, this Capiz shell plate is sure to be treasured for years to come.
