Midcentury Italian Trompe L'oeil Fig & Flower Candleholder Centerpiece

A vibrant midcentury Italian majolica fig and flower centerpiece, hand-molded and painted in lush tones of green, purple, and golden yellow. The sculpted design features a central cabbage-form candle holder surrounded by plump figs, leafy greens, and delicate white blossoms — each detail finished with a glossy glaze that captures the warmth and artistry of traditional Italian ceramics.

Likely crafted in the mid-20th century, this piece reflects the exuberant naturalism of Capodimonte-style majolica, where form meets function in the most decorative way. A striking centerpiece for holiday tables, garden parties, or year-round display on a sideboard or mantel. Unmarked.
