Notes
Showstopping WOW Ceramic Apple Sculptures by artist and designer Lisa Pappon, São Paulo, Brazil. The apple, symbol of the Earth, of life itself, of knowledge and of sensuality, Ishtar’s pome, fruit of the Hesperides and of Avalon, has expressed emotion, inspiration and ideas since the dawn of time. A reward to the beautiful and the heroic, a badge of authority and a source of magic, myriad cultures have associated these attributes with the apple and as such the fruit has adorned human art throughout the ages. Stein, too, have taken this food of mind and body as the inspiration for their ceramic apple sculptures. Shimmering glaze, heady lapis-lazuli, the lustre of gold and elegance of silver evoke the ceramic fruit’s natural beauty in untold variety. Stein ceramic apple sculptures today grace collections and museums or simply beautiful rooms in all corners of the globe.
