From my personal collection of over 100 alabaster grapes from Italy is this important and rather large specimen. Popularly brought back to the USA from trips abroad as souvenirs, I've acquired them at Roundtop, Brimfield, Scott Antique markets, estate sales and flea markets the world over.
They look spectacular amassed in an unused fireplace, a giant clamshell or bowl and equally appealing solo on a shelf, mantle or atop a coffee table or book stack.
This particular cluster has about 24 “grapes" attached to a real grapevine stem and has some loss of its colored lacquer. The alabaster orbs range from 1.75" to over 2" in diameter with slight variations. Alabaster portion alone is 9" long and stem is 6" showing. Overall measurments 14.5" x 7" x 6"
Quite a bit of lacquer missing allowing the natural alabaster to show through. We like the distressed quality but one can easily remove the lacquer for a monochromatic effect.
