Deep Blue Cast Glass Sea Shell

Abyssal Tide: Deep Water Sea Shell

One-of-a-Kind Lost Wax Cast Glass Sculpture

Descend into the quiet majesty of the Pacific with this "Abyssal Tide" sculpture. While the shallows of the North Shore sparkle with turquoise, this piece captures the soul of the Deep Water—the heavy, rhythmic indigo of the open ocean and the mysterious depths that cradle the Hawaiian Islands.

The Art of the Deep

This sculpture is a masterclass in lost wax (cire perdue) casting. Unlike mass-produced glass, this shell began as a hand-sculpted wax original, encased in a plaster investment, and fired in a kiln for weeks. The result is a solid, weighted form that possesses a physical gravity reflecting the pressure of the deep sea.

Sensory Details

• The Palette: A sophisticated gradient of midnight cobalt and inky sapphire. In low light, the shell appears near-black and monolithic; when struck by direct sun, it ignites with a hidden, electric blue core.

• The Texture: The "lost wax" process captures hyper-realistic growth lines and weathered scars, telling the story of a shell that has survived the currents of the deep Pacific.

• The Finish: Hand-lapped and cold-worked to a satin sheen, offering a tactile experience that feels like water-worn stone.
