Quantity: One (1) complete ceramic centerpiece, including the basket and attached sculptural mushroom, acorn, and botanical elements shown.

The arrangement is wonderfully dimensional and richly textured, with multiple varieties of mushrooms and natural forms layered throughout the basket to create an especially full, dramatic composition. The glossy chocolate-brown glazing contrasts beautifully with the warm cream and white elements, giving the piece a sophisticated autumnal palette that works beautifully in traditional, European, maximalist, country house, or eclectic interiors.

The underside is marked “253 MADE IN ITALY.”

This is a substantial decorative centerpiece with considerable visual presence, measuring approximately 14 inches long and just over 10 inches wide. The openwork basket itself measures approximately 8.5 inches long by 6 inches wide.

A striking statement piece for a dining table, console, sideboard, entryway, library, or collected interior.
