Description
Somebody always reaches for it. That is the funny thing about a peanut left on a side table; guests cannot resist picking it up, turning it over, rubbing a thumb across the ridged shell, and then laughing out loud when they realize it is porcelain. One uncle was so convinced it was real that he very nearly tried to crack it during the cheese course, and the family still teases him about it every Christmas. Now it has become a kind of family game, hiding the peanut somewhere new before each gathering, and whoever finds it first gets the last slice of tarte.
This large peanut earns that double take. Its painted shell is so finely detailed that every groove and speckle seems ready to snap. It is a wonderful present for a baseball fan, a peanut farmer, a pastry chef, or anyone with a playful streak and a sharp eye. Display it in a small dish on the coffee table, on a bar cart beside the cocktail glasses, or on a desk where it will reliably start a conversation with every visitor.
