Mid-Century Green Hardstone Grape Cluster — 9" Length, 2 lbs

An impressive mid-century decorative grape cluster carved from polished green hardstone, likely serpentine or jade, popular in export décor from China and Italy between the 1950s–1970s. This naturalistic display features over 30 smooth, pale green stone “grapes” arranged on silk-wrapped wire stems. Deeply veined dark hardstone leaves contrast beautifully with the lighter grapes, while a carved wood-like stem completes the botanical form.

Pieces like this exemplify the mid-century fascination with mineral carvings and natural materials, crafted for both artistic and interior decorative use. Measuring 9 inches in length by 6 inches wide and weighing a substantial 2 lbs 0.4 oz, it’s ideal for tabletop display or as a tactile collectible. These clusters remain sought-after for their hand-carved quality and vintage charm, appealing to collectors of hardstone carvings, retro décor, or nature-inspired art objects.
