Beautiful Old Bunch of Wrinkled Stone Fruit Grapes swedish drawing and patience must have goneThese old stone fruit grapes were one of my favorite Brimfield finds, brilliantly executed to resemble grapes well on their way to becoming raisins. I havent been able to find another bunch like these, and really think they are quite exquisite. I'm honestly not certain how the wrinkled surface on these was achieved, but they are hard, heavy for their size and I am pretty certain marble, and early, with wooden stem and wire holding them together.
