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’s Antique markets, estate sales and flea markets the world over.
They look spectacular amassed in an unused fireplace, filling a giant clamshell or large bowl, equally appealing solo on a shelf, mantle or atop a coffee table or book stack.
This particular cluster has about 25 “grapes" attached to a real grapevine stem, some loss of its beige colored lacquer exposing the alabaster underneath. The alabaster orbs graduate from smaller at the tip to larger at stem. These are each about .75" to 1.5" diameter. Alabaster portion alone is 6.5” long and stem is another 3" showing, overall: 9.5" x 4.5" x 4"
The original label is still attached as shown. A few "grapes" have gray marble veins showing through lacquer.
