Miniature White Ceramic Vase with Fruit Motif

This is a miniature white ceramic vase, approximately 3-4 inches in height as suggested by its scale relative to the human hand holding it. The vase features a classic, somewhat bulbous body that tapers towards a flared neck and rim, and sits on a small round base. Its primary color is a uniform off-white or cream, consistent with unglazed or matte-finished ceramic. The surface is not glossy, suggesting either a bisque finish or a matte glaze. A notable feature is the ribbed or fluted texture running vertically along the sides of the vase, interrupted on one side by an oval-shaped raised relief medallion. This medallion prominently displays a fruit motif, specifically what appears to be clusters of grapes and possibly other fruits or leaves, rendered in a detailed, three-dimensional style. The craftsmanship appears to be good, with clean lines and well-defined sculptural elements. There are no immediately visible cracks, chips, or significant damage, though slight discoloration or residue is apparent on the thumb and palm holding the object, which might suggest handling or age, but not necessarily item damage. No discerning maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The style suggests a decorative, possibly collectible, piece from the mid-20th century to contemporary times, leaning towards a classical or traditional aesthetic due to the fruit motif and fluted design. Its small size indicates it is likely intended for decorative purposes, perhaps for tiny flowers or as part of a miniature collection.
