About the Item

A pair of French snail or egg holders dating from the 1980s, made of glazed ceramic. Each piece has a stylized cluster shape, composed of several circular compartments designed to hold snails, eggs, or small individual preparations. The glaze displays subtle shades of olive green and beige, punctuated by a speckled effect, characteristic of utilitarian and decorative ceramic production from the late 20th century. The slightly irregular edges and the small protrusion at the bottom, reminiscent of a stem, enhance the playful and organic character of the piece. Both functional and decorative, these snail holders exemplify French tableware from the 1980s, blending practicality, natural forms, and a convivial aesthetic, perfect for a rustic, vintage, or eclectic table setting.
