Deep green cucumber (approx. 8” long)

Burgundy red pepper

Yellow squash

Pomegranate with textured stem detail

Long curved eggplant in rich oxblood tones

Each piece is individually molded with softly irregular, organic contours and finished in high-gloss paint that gives them a lacquered, almost resin-like appearance. The painterly color transitions — chartreuse into flame red, citron into golden yellow — create a striking, decorative effect rather than strict botanical realism.

Lightweight yet substantial in scale, these are statement-making decorative objects ideal for:

Kitchen open shelving

Italian-inspired or Mediterranean interiors

Hollywood Regency or Palm Beach–style spaces

Restaurant, café, or bar staging

Pop Art or Memphis-leaning vignettes

The pomegranate features a natural fiber detail at the crown, adding dimensional texture to the set. Surface shows minor creasing consistent with papier-mâché construction, which enhances their handcrafted charm.

Sold as a complete set of five.

A playful, sculptural collection that blurs the line between still life and decorative art. See less
