Mid-Century Italian Alabaster Fruit - Set of 6
Couldn't load pickup availability
A rare and highly collectible mid-century set of six miniature fruits, hand-carved from alabaster and finished with hand-applied colour. Apples, pear, lemon, orange, and cherries are rendered in softly rounded forms, each with slight variations typical of handmade work - no two quite the same.
The surface has aged beautifully. The paint has dried and mellowed over time, with light wear and small scuffs consistent with age. Colours feel warm and softened rather than bright, giving the set a depth that only comes with time.
A striking still-life group when styled together in a shallow bowl, and just as strong arranged loosely on a table or shelf. Sets like this are increasingly hard to find complete - a special decorative detail with real presence.

All items we sell are pre-loved. Most are vintage, which means they’ve been used and have lived through time.
Each piece is sold in its current condition, with signs of age or use such as patina, wear, fading, or small irregularities. Many vintage items also carry production marks from the manufacturing methods of their time. These traces are part of what makes each piece what it is, and add to its character over time.
We photograph and describe everything as clearly as we can, so you know what you’re getting. Please take a moment to review the photos and description before ordering. If anything feels unclear, just reach out - we’re happy to help.
