"Lemon" modeled on a Sicilian lemon, wonderfully naturalistically crafted and painted with matte color designed by Giambattista Valli. It achieves its realism through its porous texture and intricately detailed painting. Ideal for storing lemon slices but can be used for other foods or trinkets or as a decorative item.
Each piece in the Giambattista Valli collection is marked with his name on the bottom.
Founded in 1718, the Augarten Porcelain is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique.
