There are multiple steps in the creation of this life-like fruit.  First, raw chunks of white marble are carved, chiseled and shaped into the likeness of an Apple, Pear, Persimmon or other piece of fruit.  After a perfect likeness of the fruit has been created, the sculpted piece is heated in an oven and a coating of wax is applied.  Minerals and natural dyes are then applied to the warm wax.  Depending on the individual piece a natural fruit stems may be added to the fruit as a realistic accent.  The result is a piece of fruit that is life-size and realistic in form, color, and texture.  You won’t believe it is not real. Michelangelo created his famous masterpieces from the quarries of the Carrara area and you too can have beautiful Marble Fruit from this Our stunning Alabaster Gra*es imported from the medieval town of Volterra, Italy are equally as beautiful as our imported Italian Marble Fruit.  Our Alabaster Gra*es are arranged on beautiful natural vines and are available in a number of different sizes and colors.
