From my personal collection of over 100 alabaster grapes from Italy.
Popularly brought back to the USA from trips abroad as decorative souvenirs, I acquired mine 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, antique bowl, 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, has some loss of its colored lacquer exposing the alabaster underneath. Some people remove the lacquer leaving the alabaster orbs naturally white. These are in remarkable condtion and retains its original label.
The alabaster orbs graduate from smaller at the tip to larger at stem. These are each about 2" to 1" diameter. Alabaster portion alone is 9" long and stem is another 9" showing, overall: 13" x 6" x 5.5"
