This sculptural trompe l’oeil grouping includes a variety of produce forms—corn, carrot, eggplant, lemon, apple, onion, pepper, asparagus, zucchini, melon, and squash—each rendered with naturalistic texture and saturated color.

Several pieces feature small openings, indicating original use as floral stem holders or components of a decorative epergne-style centerpiece. Equally striking styled as a tabletop arrangement, kitchen display, or Palm Beach–style entertaining accent.

Classic Italian export pottery, dating to the late 20th century, in the tradition of Deruta/Bassano majolica. A cheerful, highly decorative set that brings texture, color, and charm to any interior. See less
