Another MDM’s Today’s Collectible, Tomorrow’s Antique!

Plastic grapes hardly describes these lovely lucite/resin grapes that were made in the 1950’s or earlier.  Most are attached with wire and covered in floral tape and anchored to a faux bois or piece of driftwood.  Many were used in decorative hanging light fixtures with a definite danish modern look.  These are wonderful accents for a livingroom coffee table or dining room center piece and as a decorating accent they go with most decors from victorian to contemporary.

The lucite grapes pictured at right are from MDM’s collection.  They are gold and clear incoloring  and they go well at all times of the year even with an eclectic decor.

These grapes were made in a number of colors and materials including crystal, agates, glass, alabaster and the colors can include pink, blue, green, orange, jade, lt. and dk. green, red, turquoise just to name a few.

For your best bargains look for these items at thrift shops and rummage or tag sales.  Ebay and Shopgoodwill will have others, but you will pay more–sometimes a lot more depending on the other bidders.
