The realism of this pair of two-piece creamware fruit bowls from Italy (dating to the 1900s) is quite impressive. Both lids are depicted as overflowing arrangements of fruit featuring bananas, pomegranates, pears, grapes, and more. Some of the fruit even contain partial stems and leaf clusters. The lids top a footed base adorned with a beaded neck and recessed lobes set between two rings near the bowl opening. Our pair of creamware fruit bowls have the traditional cream hue associated with lead-glazed earthenware. They would make wonderful table centerpieces for a dining room or decorative bowls for a kitchen or living room.

CONDITION: Very good condition. Fleabites and light losses. Minor buildup. Slight craquelure to areas of the lid.
