Italian Large Yellow Lucite Grapes Bunch on Driftwood Stem
Located in Clifton Forge, VA
You want a splash of color? Here it is! These glassy yellow grapes are huge, about 2 inches in diameter each and they are full of pale yellow light reflecting color! The Lucite grapes are held to the rustic driftwood with wire and are flexible so the bunch of grapes has some malleability.
They would work great in a beachy look, a rustic look, a classic look or many other decorative styles.
Thanks for visiting The Moody Carpenter...

By Michael Powolny (1871 - 1954)
Nowadays, art experts attest Michael Powolny’s work as the work of one of the most important ceramic artists and designers of Austrian Art Nouveau. Powolny's companions and successors were significantly influenced by him, since he had left behind a work that was extremely important for Viennese ceramic art. Powolny's putti - many of them made on behalf of Wiener Keramik (WK) - are sought after by knowledgeable Art Nouveau collectors, both because of their modeling quality and
because of the endearing and distinctive appearance.
