Fruit Pyramid “Tempted to Taste” represents the original story of temptation in the Garden of Eden. Porcelain figures sample the forbidden fruits in a garden underneath the fruit basket, torn between sin and innocence. The sculptural porcelain fruit stand is a collaboration between Chris Antemann and the Meissen manufactory. The white porcelain is carefully painted by hand and signed by Chris Antemann above the emblematic crossed-swords mark of Meissen.
