Though the Corfu Ivory Accent Table looks as if it is covered with lovely shells, the intricate shapes are actually handmade of ceramic. The table, which is also ceramic, has a round pedestal body that is shaped before it is covered with each of the shells, one at a time, by hand. This is a painstaking process. To complete the illusion that it is covered with sea-life, the surface has barnacle shapes on its top and bottom. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth or static duster. Always avoid the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may cause damage to the item's finish.
