Vintage Italian Alabaster Watermelon Slice | Hand-Carved Stone Fruit | Red, Yellow & Green with Black Seeds | 4.25" | Mid-Century

The only watermelon that never drips down your arm. Where would you put this summer slice?

This vintage alabaster watermelon slice is hand carved from stone and painted in juicy red-pink with a yellow and green rind and six raised black seeds. It's polished to a glossy finish, and the alabaster glows a little when the light hits it. Hand-carved, painted alabaster fruit like this was made in Italy and was hugely popular in mid-century homes, piled in a bowl or set on a shelf. It's lovely as a paperweight, on a bookshelf, or added to a bowl of stone fruit.
