Vintage Italian alabaster grape cluster sculpture, mid-20th century. This decorative objet features dozens of hand-csrved alabaster "grapes" in soft amber, blush pink, and pale green tones. Each grape is individually formed and wired together to create a natural, cascading cluster with realistic weight and volume.  

The alabaster has a rich, luminous quality with slight irregularities and bubbles that confirm hand craftsmanship. Surface shows subtle wear, tiny flea bites, and surface scratching consistent with age - exactly what collectors want vs new reproduction. Stem and wire structure are original metal, with natural oxidation and patina.  

These Italian glass fruit clusters were hugely popular from 1950s-1970s as bar carts, dining table, and shelf decor. They bring instant color and texture to interiors: modern, transitional, and Hollywood Regency all use them. Pair with the Italian painted furniture you’ve been listing for a cohesive story. Place on stacked books, bar cart, or console table for maximum impact.  

Size looks substantial in photos - much more presence than small 12-grape clusters. The gradient from pink to amber makes it read like ripe grapes.
