Mid-Century Italian Hand-Carved Alabaster Pineapple Sculpture - 1960s

4 1/2”H x 3”W x 1 1/4” Base

Hand-carved from warm honeyed alabaster stone, this vintage decorative pineapple showcases distinct natural mineral veining, sculptural geometric faceting, and foliage at its crown. Handcrafted in Italy during the mid-20th century, stone fruit objects of this era exemplify the intersection of organic form and mid-century modern tactile design. The piece carries an impressive physical weight and a rich, naturally aged patina throughout. It displays subtle surface wear consistent with age, alongside expected loss to a few decorative dark stone inlay dots within the faceted body, underscoring its authentic vintage providence and material history.
