The product is quite unique.

We haven't actually gotten to use the clam shell yet. We are planning on putting some succulent plants in it and putting it out on our deck. It was delivered intact and looks beautiful.

Impressive

I was looking for a centerpiece for our outside lanai, and boy did I get one! This shell is huge, heavy, and beautiful. I'm so pleased. Worth the money.

Not as Realistic-Looking as You'd Expect
PostedMay 10, 2012
It serves its purpose - acting as a centerpiece on our dining room table. But it's the second major disappointment we've ordered from Ballard Designs.
It's too expensive for what you get.
The BD catalogues go straight in the recycling bin now.

Great Conversation Piece!!
PostedMay 10, 2012
This clam shell almost looks like the real thing but it's not as fragile as actual shells would be. I loved the picture with succulent plants put inside - so I took my shell to a local nursery and we created a living piece of art!!
The price is also quite a deal. Real shells can go for a minimum of $600!
I love it!
