Sage Smudge Dish
We are all about burning some sage. Pandemic got you down? Sage it. Are your in-laws in town? Light some sage. Did your roommate just microwave questionable leftover fish? Sage it. Twice.
Part of the beauty of sage smudging is the intentional ritual of the experience. Our customers love to house their Artisan Crafted Sage Smudge Sticks in our Gilded Oyster Shell Dishes and Extra Large Oyster Shell Dishes. Not only are our dishes a lovely size for housing your sage, but they also offer a beautiful way of catching any stray ash during your smudging ritual.
Bring a touch of elegance to your next dinner party by housing your salt and pepper in our dazzling Gilded Oyster Shells or our Bloom Salt & Pepper Cellars. The sustainable bamboo spoons are ideal for serving salt and pepper, and each pair of shells is carefully matched for size and aesthetic.

Soap Dish
Handwashing is all the rage these days and soap was the MVP of 2020, so give your soap the place of honor it deserves.

These handcrafted dishes are an elegant addition to any bathroom counter or kitchen ledge.
Gilded Oyster Spoon Rest
Our Gilded Oyster Dishes are hit with home chefs everywhere, as well. Shoppers love to tuck an oyster dish or two in strategic locations around the kitchen to serve as spoon rests while cooking, making coffee, or plating up meals. They also look lovely on an appetizer plate or charcuterie board.
