There's no fruit quite like a persimmon! Sweet and rich and full of flavour these little fruity treats were a favourite food of the Ancient Greeks and still delight discerning fruit connoisseurs today. This persimmon is made of clay and fired in my kiln, so they will last forever and a day - please don't try and eat them though!
 
Approximate dimensions: 6.5 cm high x 7cm wide.
 
These were a part of my recent body of work called 'Persephone's Table' which referenced the Greek myth of Persephone - Goddess of Spring and the Underworld. I created a table-scape that featured the food of the Gods and referenced historical sources to discover the foods of Ancient Greece.
