This is a set of 6 Mexican folk art terracotta fruits with copper leaves and stems. The set includes a banana, a slice of watermelon, a mango, an apple, a lemon, and a pear. All are painted with an added whitewash on top. The apple is red, the watermelon is green and red, the pear is green, the lemon and banana are green and yellow, and the mango is yellow. All have copper elements either as leaves, as stems, or as seeds.
The fruits are in good vintage condition for their age and use. The all have a small hole in the terracotta somewhere on the fruit, so I think these are original to the firing of the pieces. All have general wear with some discoloration or dulling to the copper. The copper on each piece has tarnish spots, but the copper is attached with minimal bending. Each piece has dark areas around or under the copper that look like paint, so again, potentially part of the original design.
The fruits all vary in size but they are all about 3.5 inches to 6 inches long and anywhere from 2.75 to 3.5 inches wide.
This listing is for the set of 6 fruits only. The bowl in the photos is not included.
