A fantastic Italian majolica topiary featuring a sculptural Frutti De Mare (fruits of the sea) arrangement of fish, crabs, mussels, a large lobster and lemons. What is really taking this topiary to the next level is the incredible metallic lustreware glaze on the basket and all the seafood giving the piece a beautiful glowing iridescence. The red lobster is the only one without the metallic glaze and it creates an artistic contrast.
It is an absolutely magnificent coastal centerpiece!
