Years ago, I purchased a beautiful green pear sculpture, which had a place of honor in my family room. Just looking at that pear made me happy! However, when our golden retriever Ben joined the family, his large enthusiastic tail knocked my pear off the table.
When I saw this picture from Suzanne Kasler's portfolio, I asked her where she got the beautiful pear sculptures on her kitchen table (this image is from her previous house). She purchased them years ago at Lars Bolander's store in New York, and the were one of a kind.
I continued to keep my eye out for pear sculptures, and you can imagine my delight when I found the pear artist again recently! I promptly purchased a green pear, and asked the artist if she would like to sell her pears through my store, Quatrefoil Design.
The artist is Lisa Olliff, and she has always had a passion for art and sculpture. In recent years she decided to pursue her love for sculpture and pottery, and her skill, talent, and creativity really shine through! Pears are one of her favorite subject matters, for their organic beauty.

Her pears are so beautiful, and as they are hand made, each has a character of its own. I haven't decided where I will put mine, but there are so many options!

They would look great in a small grouping, on a kitchen table, similar to how Suzanne had her pears arranged in her house.

A smaller pear looks wonderful perched on top of a stack of books
The pears look great as part of a tablescape on a chest. Do you spy the pear in this vignette?

Good morning, Holly!
ReplyDeleteI love green pears... I'm not sure why, but for me, it brings some freshness to the house, some fun and green is such a happy, vibrant color. I have 3 of them in my living room (on a shelf).
Hope lots of people buy these beauties! They're really good looking!
Enjoy your Saturday!

Not only is the modeling of the pears fantastic, but the different glazes are amazing. The turquoise pear has my heart right now. Thanks. Mary
ReplyDeleteLovely find indeed! They are beautiful and are a great accessory that would work in so many places!
ReplyDeleteGreat addition to your store! There's something about pears that is so appealing. Love the turquoise one.
ReplyDeleteI have collected pear sculptures for years so it is nice to see I am now alone. There is just something so simple and sweet about them. I also love your little acorns (akerns as my aunt in Texas calls them)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially like the turquoise one.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm off to vote for you, Holly. Best of luck!
the leaves are still small
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous...love the many ways they can be used!!
ReplyDeleteThe pears are beautiful but I would be afraid our golden would try to eat it since pears are his favorite fruit! Happy Sunday!
