Where to Buy Faux Giant Clam Shells Online

I still see Giant Clam Shells Everywhere and a list "Where to Buy Faux Giant Clams Online" was overdue. I did publish a few sources back in 09, but inventories in stores change, and links no longer work. In fact, Pottery Barn carried faux clam shells this summer, but they're off the shelves now.

concrete clam shell
These giants make awesome Bowls and Planters, and look stunning just sitting on a table, shelf or on the floor as a sculptural piece, like this one in Sharon Osbourne's Home. A true giant, measuring 30" in width. It is made from concrete and comes from Mecox Gardens. Price, just short of $700. Let's scratch one zero off, shall we. And let the count down begin!

For $72 you can purchase Regina Andrew's Imperial Clam.

At Save on Crafts you only have to part with $49. They will charge you $14 for shipping. I know this because I almost bought one, but backed out. When you're planning on selling your house, you think twice about buying home decor items. It would look awesome on my black kitchen counter though!

porcelain clam bowls
A set of two Porcelain Clam Shell Bowls from Ocean Offerings for $72.

Wow, they are beautiful!! $700 for that one though is a bit much I agree with you on that! It is amazing what they can do with resin these days.

Or if you are the least little bit crafty you can make one from paper mache

I haven't tried it yet, but I made some winged demons a couple of years ago for Halloween so these seem it be a piece of cake to make. Might have to get my butt in gear this winter. ha ha

There you go again. I was good until you mentioned your black kitchen counters. Now, I keep picturing a couple of these on my black counters, either in my kitchen or my bathroom. Another must-have to add to the list!

Wow, the resin ones are really pretty. You can fill them with so many beautiful things. I think my glass floats would look great in one!
