Vintage 'Fruit Mama' miniature fruit bowl by Stefano Giovannoni for Alessi designed in 1993 circa 2000s.
Defined as an object to display fruit on the table, the fruit tree, resting on a shiny steel plate, resembles a cactiform plant, indeed a carnivorous plant that tightens its leaves around the prey. The design focuses on the contrast between the seriousness of the steel plate and the playfulness of the plant-shaped strut in 1/12 scale. In excellent condition and a rare find. Sourced in Milan.
