Hand-molded and hand-painted in Italy, it features a lush pyramid of ripened oranges—complete with realistic dimpled skin and deep green foliage—all perched elegantly on a fluted white pedestal base.

Unlike the fruit bowl that inevitably goes soft by Tuesday, this piece offers a permanent pop of citrus zest. It carries the weight and "heft" expected of authentic Italian pottery, finished in a high-gloss glaze that catches the light beautifully. Whether styled as a singular centerpiece or as part of a maximalist mantel display, it’s a brilliant way to add sculptural height and organic color to a room without the upkeep.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Minimal surface wear consistent with age; no significant chips or cracks. Marked "Italy D" on the underside.

The piece measures roughly 12-1/4" tall by 7-1/2" wide by 7-1/2" deep overall and is ready to add to your collection! See less
