Amphora Melon ShellThe Amphora Melon shell is home to a very large sea snail, found in the southwest Pacific. During its height in the 19th century, conchology, or the collecting of shells, contributed to our understanding of the natural world. Hand cast from an antique specimen, our Amphora Melon is the perfect summertime decorative object for your home. Use it on an entry table to welcome guests, on your dining table for a fish fry or as a paperweight on your desk.
