I was able to reach the Vietri Co. And they did some research for me. They said this is Titled “Mixed Fruit Basket” from their still life collection in 1997. It retailed at that time for 400.00. What an exceptional piece! Very Rare, Approximately 12″ tall 14″ wide This is an extremely impressive item. Loaded with life size and life like vibrantly colored vegetables all glazed in a very realistic satin sheen. The basket is woven ceramic, the vegetables are all very realistic and have been attached at the factory. This is a one piece item. Onions, peppers, Tomatoes, carrots, artichokes, cabbage, lettuce, zucchini, garlic, eggplant. This basket has them all with multiples of some. No condition issues to speak of except for one tiny area on the basket (see close up photo) that is not even noticeable. It looks like something in the kiln was touching this area because it in a place that would be hard to reach. Factory mark on the bottom. There is some dust in between the vegetables but no grease or grime. A well cared for item that is ready to bring joy to your home. At over 15 pounds this is a substantial piece. This item is in the category “Home & Garden\Home Décor\Decorative Accessories\Decorative Fruit & Vegetables”. The seller is “ibsellen” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
