This diverse collection of 9 vintage fruits is a striking example of mid-20th-century Italian craftsmanship. The set includes a wide variety of fruits, including bananas, persimmons, pears, figs, and more. In Earthenware, wood and plastic.

They are individually hand-carved from a single piece of earthenware, wood, or plastic. After carving, they are hand-painted with natural pigments and finished with a beeswax layer, giving them a subtle sheen and a remarkably lifelike quality. The craftsmanship is so convincing that they are virtually indistinguishable from real fruit, making them both a decorative conversation piece and a collector's item. They are presented on a metal fruit bowl (included).

Each piece is unique and exhibits individual variations in carving and painting.
