A charming and vibrant example of Italian ceramic artistry, this vintage majolica-style fruit basket is a quintessential piece of Mid-Century Modern kitchen and dining decor. Hand-modeled in the mid-20th century, this piece features a creamy ivory-glazed "hand-woven" lattice bowl filled with a lifelike, high-gloss assortment of hand-painted fruit, including a sculpted banana, pear, and clusters of deep red cherries.
Masterfully crafted in the renowned workshops of Northern Italy, this piece exhibits beautiful "trompe l'oeil" realism. The underside features the authentic, embossed "MADE IN ITALY" hallmark. Its compact 7.5-inch length makes it a versatile accent for a breakfast nook, bar cart, or as a vibrant pop of Hollywood Regency style on a vanity or bookshelf.
Excellent Vintage Condition. The intricate woven ceramic basket is structurally perfect with no breaks or repairs. The hand-painted pigments remain exceptionally bright. Consistent with its age and the delicate nature of Italian porcelain, there is one single micro-flea bite on a leaf edge, which is unnoticeable during display and does not detract from the piece's beauty.
