Fruit in Art

You may be tempted to reach out a eat something from this fruit bowl. However, you may be surprised to learn that this collection is actually in ceramic. Influenced by early still life paintings of fruit and trompe-l‘oeil art  Midlands based Penkridge Ceramics are considered to be one of the best creators of the ”real thing” when it comes to ceramic fruits.

The attention to detail is paramount, with several layers of glaze added to create both colour and texture, giving a ”super-real” effect.

This collection will be on offer at our December auction along with a host of fascinating items, silver and artworks. We will be accepting further entries over the next two weeks.
