Large Spotted Triton Shell (Charonia nodifera)

A big shell on a shelf is the oldest souvenir there is, proof somebody stood at the edge of an ocean once and wanted to keep a piece of it.

This Triton is large, its surface ridged and spotted in warm brown, the opening flushed soft pink. Natural sculpture, no two alike. For a bookshelf, an entry table, a windowsill that catches the sun.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
