My mom had something, too, and it spent its time parked in the middle
of the dining room table.

For some reason, wax fruit is also in this memory.

I'll bet there are a lot of people of our generation who have
attempted to dine on waxed fruit.

I have no doubt! :-)

Several years ago I bought some "jeweled" fruit to put in a crystal bowl in
one of our curio cabinets.

This isn't a really clear pictu

Oh, clear enough to give a me great idea of what they look like. How
unusual and lovely and sparkly.

'Course, I could break a tooth trying to nibble on that.

My mom had plastic fruit, not wax fruit. No mirror involved The grapes
were actually rubber. Mom used to get mad because you could pop them off
the plastic stem, fill them with water and squirt people with them LOL But
they popped right back on the stem so no real harm done.
