The assortment includes a pomegranate, fig, banana, two pears, two peaches, an orange, a lemon, and a cherry cluster. Together, the pieces create a richly layered tabletop display with a wonderful mix of shapes, scale, and color.

The fruit appears to be carved from natural stone, likely alabaster and/or marble, and finished by hand. Exact stone composition has not been laboratory verified. The individual pieces show the subtle irregularities, tonal variation, surface texture, and patina that give vintage Italian stone fruit its distinctive decorative character.

Especially appealing details include the sculptural pomegranate crown, deep plum-toned fig, curved banana, softly mottled pears and peaches, and bright citrus elements. The collection is ideal for display in a bowl, compote, on a dining table, kitchen island, console, or cabinet.

Vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear, paint variation, minor marks, small losses, and patina consistent with age. Please review photographs carefully, as they form part of the condition description.

Sold as a collection of 10 pieces. For reference, banana is 6 in x 2 in x 2.2 in. See less
