The big houses presented them and sometimes even praised them during receptions. It is a beautiful object fallen into oblivion but which is very decorative and who, why not, can be given to the taste of the day given the price of this fruit! note a small lack on the basis (photo). Dimensions: 36 cm high and 17 cm in diameter. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
