COASTAL KEEPER | Pelican Storage Sculpture

A pelican's throat pouch holds three gallons of water in nature.

Three gallons. That's not trivia. That's 30 million years of biomechanical engineering producing a wide-mouthed, smooth-lined, stable-based natural container. Built to open fast, hold generously, and close clean.

This sculpture borrows all of it.

The Coastal Keeper captures the pelican mid-characteristic pose. Bill open. Throat pouch expanded. Every feather textured across a plump body that stands 8.1 inches tall and 8.9 inches long. The gular pouch interior is smooth-finished resin. Nothing catches. Nothing scratches. Keys, wallet, phone, sunglasses, jewelry, loose change - whatever the day deposits on the nearest flat surface - land here instead.

That's the real job this piece does.

Not just storing things. Ending the scramble. Turning a cluttered entryway table or desktop into a surface that looks like someone made a decision about it.

The wide bill opening means no awkward reaching. The weighted base means no tipping when loading or retrieving. The hand-applied metallic finish means no two pieces age identically.

It works on entryway tables. On desks. On kitchen counters. Anywhere the daily essentials pile up looking for a home.

This is not a storage tray shaped like a bird. It is a sculpture that stores things - a distinction most guests will not immediately understand, and then will not stop thinking about.

FINISH VARIANTS

COASTAL TREASURE | Silver & Gold

Polished silver body. Warm gold accents on the bill, wing tips, and feet.

This is the coastal interior that has been properly designed, not just decorated. It belongs next to chrome fixtures, silver frames, and contemporary pieces that reference the ocean without driftwood and rope. Bright finish. Refined lines. The beach house that takes itself seriously.

Ideal for: Contemporary coastal interiors, polished beach house aesthetics, spaces with silver and chrome accents.

WEATHERED SHORES | Oxidized Bronze

Warm bronze base. Blue-green verdigris oxidation across the surface.

This is what happens when coastal metal spends real time near the water. The patina is not applied as decoration — it is the point. Harbor town character. Vintage nautical authenticity. The kind of finish that looks like it came off a ship captain's shelf rather than a factory floor.

Ideal for: Rustic coastal and beach cottage aesthetics, vintage nautical collections, farmhouse and cottage styles, spaces with aged brass and weathered wood.

DETAILS Material: Resin with hand-applied metallic finishes Dimensions: 8.9"L x 4.9"W x 8.1"H (22.5cm x 12.5cm x 20.5cm)
