The SHELL N° 1 BOWL is a model created on December 8, 1924. It is crafted from white, molded-pressed, and opalescent glass. The bowl is part of the Coquilles service, a renowned collection by the Lalique house, which includes five plates and five bowls of various sizes. The opalescent glass is particularly effective for this model as it beautifully mimics the pearly appearance of certain shells, achieving a perfect harmony between the design and the material.

The bowl is signed "R. Lalique, France" and has the number "3200" engraved on its bottom.
