An exceptional grouping of six individually signed ceramic asparagus sculptures by American artist Mary Kirk Kelly (1918–2013).
Celebrated for her naturalistic ceramic interpretations of fruits and vegetables, Kelly created sculptural works distinguished by their botanical accuracy, individually modeled forms, and carefully applied coloration.
This collection features six asparagus spears with nuanced shades of green, violet-purple tips, and realistic surface detailing. Each piece bears the artist's signature.
Together, the sculptures form a wonderfully unusual still-life arrangement, ideally suited to a curated kitchen, dining room, or collected interior.
Beautiful displayed in an antique wooden bowl, on a marble countertop, or as part of a layered botanical vignette.
