A decorative scallop shell dish raised on an ornate baroque pedestal. The shell is ribbed with a scalloped rim and tilts forward, so whatever you put in it is easy to see and reach. Carved scrolls, a nautilus-style spiral and a beaded ring around the foot give it the look of carved wood or terracotta. It stands on a round base and needs no assembly.

Recommended print settings:
Material: PLA for decoration, in a wood, terracotta or marble-effect filament as in the photos. Use PETG if it will hold soap or damp items.Layer height: 0.12–0.16 mm, to keep the scroll carvings and the shell ribs.Walls / infill: 3 walls and 15–20% infill, since the shell sits off to one side of the base.Orientation: upright on the round base, as shown.Supports: yes. The underside of the shell overhangs the pedestal, and the scroll carvings need support too. Use tree supports and keep contact off the inside of the bowl. Add a brim for the round base.Finishing: sand off support marks, prime, then dry-brush a lighter colour over the carvings. For soap use, seal the bowl with clear resin or epoxy.
