Lemon-clad maiolica vases trace their origins to southern Italian citrus groves where lemons symbolized abundance, health, and Italian identity. Kendall Jenner's mountain retreat features a towering lemon-clad vase styled with three-dimensional glazed lemons, placed among rustic, granny-inspired furnishings by Heidi Caillier. Maiolica is a vibrant, tin-glazed Italian earthenware later rebranded as majolica by British ceramicist Minton. The vase exemplifies a broader revival of produce-themed ceramics, from Bordallo Pinheiro's cabbageware to Dodie Thayer's lettuceware and other sculptural porcelain vegetables and fruit topiaries. Jenner's decor choices also include repurposed textiles from Bode and vintage artworks sourced from antique stores, emphasizing craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind pieces.
