A fan shell for the caviar: a small lidded bowl in brass with a polished nickel finish, the lid cast as a scallop shell, with a matching spoon.

At five inches across and just over two inches tall, it holds caviar, mustard or flaky salt at the table. The lid keeps things covered between passes, and the shell gives it a Riviera charm.

For the host who sets up a raw bar. For the friend with a coastal kitchen. For your own New Year's Eve table.
