Design: The base is sculpted as a textured, high-gloss "woven" basket in a warm terracotta or burnt orange tone. The Lid: The standout feature is the intricately molded lid, showcasing a colorful heap of 3D fruit, including a large green and red pear, a cluster of grapes, a yellow banana, and a deep purple plum. Finish: The piece features the signature "airbrushed" glaze style typical of mid-century California ceramics, giving the fruit a soft, blended, and realistic appearance. Dimensions: Approximately 7–8 inches in diameter, making it the perfect size for a candy dish, trinket holder, or a small tabletop accent.

Item weighs approximately 2.5 pounds. Seller notes there are no cracks and no chipping to the item.
