Italian Alabaster Stone Fruits Object
ambiantAn alabaster fruit object made in Italy around the early 20th century.
In Italy, including Volterra in Tuscany, many decorative fruit objects were produced using alabaster.
Alabaster craft continues in Italy today, but the softly hand-carved contours, the natural expression created by uneven coloring, and the mellowed tones developed over many years are distinctive qualities of fruit objects from this period.
