Friday Show and Tell – Pears and Apples

Show and Tell
Show and Tell Friday is hosted by the very talented Kelli at There is No Place Like Home

Since the 1990’s I’ve had a couple items that my middle sister really likes, and she keeps asking me if I’ve found any for her. They are two blown glass pear figures that were made in Italy. I bought them at an Ethan Allan Gallery that was shifting to become a Pennsylvania House store.

They are in a mottled peach color with green stems, and measure 9" tall x 6" across.
The sticker on the bottom reads "Handcrafted in Italy/ Expressly for/ Ethan Allen"
I also bought two bright green apple figures and one yellow lemon figures, from the same Italian series. I let my sister have the lemon and one of the apples. Here is the apple I have left; it measures 6" tall x 5 1/2" across:


Have any of you seen these glass fruit? I would like to learn more about them, and even find two more pears for my sister to have.
