Show and tell Friday is hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home.
For today’s post, I would like to share an item I bought in March from a local consignment shop. It is a vintage planter in form of a double shell. It is in tones of pink with gilt embellishment. On the bottom it is marked "Royal Fenton/[crown mark]/ Genuine/ Fenton Ware/ Staffordshire/ England. Incised in the pottery are the words, "WILTON/ SHELL/ ENGLAND."
I enjoy real sea shells as well as things with shell form or pattern. This planter, or vase, fits with my few pieces of Fitz and Floyd "Oceana" items. I have salt and pepper shakers and a small open container. They are in the living room curio cabinet.
I think I may use the planter as a centerpiece along with the "Oceana" pieces.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my vintage planter. To visit other Show and Tell posts, please go to Kelli’s. Thank you for coming by. Please leave a comment and do come again soon.

That is unique. How old do you think it is? I like your 'Oceana' pieces.
What a unique planter. I think I remember my grandma having one similar to that - but not sure. I really like it - thanks for sharing.

I bet you don't come across these often! It's amazing they matched so well. "See" you next week.
I have seen shell motifs on many things, but this is the first I have seen them as salt and pepper shakers and centerpieces. What rich detail!
What an unusual shell planter! You have a nice collection of shells, and they looks good together.
What are the roses in the background?

It does match your Fitz and Floyd perfectly. What a sweet collection.
