The exterior is finished in a mottled apple-green glaze that gives the piece wonderful depth and texture, accented by dimensional dark green leaves and a small pinkish-brown stem at the top.

The lid lifts to reveal a smooth, glossy white glazed interior, making it suitable as a decorative trinket or keepsake box. The underside retains its original “Made in Italy – Vietri Incorporated, Morganton, N.C.” label, adding nice provenance to the piece.

A delightful example of vintage Italian fruit-form pottery—equally lovely displayed in a kitchen, on a tabletop, or incorporated into a collection of Italian ceramics. The sculptural leaves and softly variegated glaze give it an especially pretty, hand-finished quality. See less
