Made in Italy in the 1960s, it features an array of fruits and vegetables, including an artichoke, pear, onion, grapes, walnuts, mushroom and cabbage. Each is painted in a realistic manner with the "bruises" or imperfections that you would see on the skins/leaves of actual fruits and vegetables (see photos). The base is a white braided bowl.

This vintage piece could be a decor element for a stunning kitchen, pantry or table setting. This piece was purchased in Italy and displayed in a dining room, where countless beautiful meals were served. The width is 8" at its widest point and measures 13" tall. The ceramic is numbered.

Please note the last photo which shows the slightly unfinished glaze/paint of the base. See less
