The assortment includes a sculptural grape cluster, pomegranate, banana, pear, apple, peach, orange, two figs in green and plum tones, and a cluster of three cherries.

The mix of forms gives this collection the appeal of a small still life: the curved banana and branching grapes bring movement, while the figs, cherries, and warm citrus tones add contrast. Display the pieces loosely in a shallow bowl or compote, or spread them across a dining table, kitchen island, or console.

The fruit appears to be carved from natural stone, likely including alabaster and/or marble, with hand-painted finishes. The exact stone composition has not been verified. Each fruit has its own variations in color, texture, and finish.

Sold together as the 10-piece collection shown. See less
