As far back as the 1600s, the pineapple's rarity, expense, and striking visual attractiveness made it the ultimate exotic fruit. It took nearly two centuries before Europeans were able to perfect a hothouse method for growing a pineapple plant. The pineapple remained uncommon and a coveted commodity that only the elite such as Kings of England could afford; thus, earning its nickname: "Fruit of Kings". Grace your home with this historical icon. The pineapple is made of a 24% lead crystal and comes with a removable top. Pineapple comes filled with pineapple flavored hard candy and gift wrapped. Attention California residents. Proposition 65 WARNING: Consuming foods or beverages that have been kept or served in leaded crystal products or handling products made of leaded crystal will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. |
