Vintage INARCO Ceramic Fruit Compote - Dark and Moody Pedestal Bowl

Embrace the rich, dramatic tones with this stunning vintage ceramic compote by INARCO (International Arts & Crafts). This unique piece, marked with the model number E-2710, perfectly captures a beautiful dark and moody vibe.

This highly sculptural footed bowl is glazed in an exceptionally deep, high-gloss plum or aubergine, a color so saturated it nearly verges on black in low light. The exterior is a masterclass in ceramic kitsch, featuring a relief of abundant, glistening fruit, including heavy bunches of grapes and plums, giving it a textural, old-world Majolica feel with a Mid-Century flair.

Though this spectacular vessel likely once had a lid (as many INARCO pieces of this era did), its absence only transforms it into a more versatile and dramatic piece. Use it as an opulent planter for a trailing houseplant, a striking centerpiece on a marble or wood console, or an unconventional way to display collections. Made in Japan in the 1960s, this piece carries the nostalgia of a bygone era while fitting seamlessly into a sophisticated, atmosphere-driven interior.

The rich color and high-shine glaze make it an instant focal point, ideal for those who favor deep jewel tones and historical decorative accents. Its current open form allows the beautiful dark interior to deepen the overall visual impact
