A wonderful combination of amber, green, and dark green leaves, make this a stunning pair of decorative art glass. Possibly made by artist Alfredo Barbini. These are heavy and solid. They look amazing when sunlight hits the glass, allowing the crisp clean greens and yellow gold colors to shine through.

Both pieces are smooth to the touch but have one tiny minor scratch due to their vintage origin. These minor imperfections are not seen by the naked eye, you have to feel around to find it. The apple measures 4" tall x 4 1/2" wide. The pear measures 5 1/2" tall x 4" wide. Each piece is crafted with two flat bases allowing the pieces to stand straight up. You can use them as intended, as paperweights, or just on their own as artful objects.

Both of these pieces are in excellent condition. See less
