Mid-Century Italian Alabaster Grape Cluster

Description

From my personal collection of alabaster grapes from Italy. Popularly brought back to the USA from trips abroad as decorative souvenirs, I collected mine at Roundtop, Brimfield, Scott's Antique market, estate sales and flea markets the world over.

They look spectacular amassed in an unused fireplace, filling a giant clamshell or large bowl, equally appealing solo on a shelf, mantle or atop a coffee table or book stack.

This cluster has about 23 "grapes" attached to a plastic "stem" cast from an actual piece of grape vine wood. Some loss of its beige colored lacquer exposing the alabaster underneath particularly to one piece and there's evidence of one missing "grape." A few pieces have gray veining visible in the stone through the lacquer.

The alabaster orbs graduate from smaller at the tip to larger at stem. These are each approximately 1" to 1.25" diameter. Alabaster portion is 6.5" long and stem is another 3" showing, overall: 9.5" x 4.5" x 4"
