Handcrafted in glazed ceramic with a shell-shaped profile, this piece features a hand-painted Ischian coastal scene: white architecture, blue sea, bright yellow touches and small birds in the sky. The name "Naos" reflects the quiet elegance of the façade depicted inside, giving the object a more architectural, Mediterranean character. With its 13 cm diameter, it works beautifully as a trinket dish, jewellery holder, coin tray or decorative accent.
A small statement piece, made to bring a touch of island light to consoles, shelves and bedside tables.
The "Naos" shell trinket dish by Kèramos is a glazed ceramic piece that captures the island’s visual memory through a small hand-painted architectural scene.

With its 13 cm diameter, it is compact yet expressive: ideal as a trinket dish, coin tray, jewellery holder, small object holder or decorative piece. The deep blue rim frames the design and gives the scene depth, making it a natural fit for entrance tables, bedside tables, consoles and shelves that need a handcrafted accent with character.

Rather than relying on a simple decorative motif, "Naos" tells a small story: a pale façade, open sky, sea suggested through blue brushwork and the warmth of yellow running through the landscape. The result is a decorative object with a narrative quality, evoking coastal villages and Mediterranean architecture.
The inner surface feels like a small painted view, while the irregular shell outline gives the piece movement and keeps it from feeling conventional. It is practical, but also worth looking at: a bright accent that can add identity to an entrance area, a pale wood cabinet or a display of ceramics and natural materials.
Use it by the entrance for keys and coins, on a bedside table for small jewellery, on a shelf as a decorative accent or on a console alongside other sea-inspired pieces. It pairs especially well with light wood, natural stone, linen, neutral surfaces and bright interiors.
To preserve the gloss of the glazed ceramic and the painted decoration, gentle hand cleaning is recommended. Avoid abrasive products, as they may dull the surface over time.
Kèramos creates artisan-decorated ceramics, turning small everyday objects into pieces with strong decorative value. In this shell dish, painterly lines, slight irregularities and Mediterranean colours convey the charm of handwork and the visual sensitivity of the island.
