Step into a moment of pastoral serenity with this vintage HOMCO #1258 “Tuscany Boy with Grapes” figurine, a graceful homage to the artistry and innocence of mid-century European-inspired design.
Crafted from fine bisque porcelain, this piece radiates timeless warmth through its soft matte finish and delicate hand-painted tones of olive green, golden yellow, blush rose, and lavender grape. Each detail—from the woven straw hat and the bow at his collar to the wicker basket brimming with fruit—reveals the meticulous craftsmanship that made HOMCO figurines beloved by collectors for generations.
Standing approximately 8 inches tall, the young vintner is portrayed mid-harvest, balancing a basket of grapes upon his shoulder while another bunch rests gently near his feet. His expression captures both youth and diligence, evoking images of Tuscan vineyards basking in the sun. The sculptural composition flows with natural rhythm—folds of fabric, textured grapes, and graceful posture—creating a lifelike presence that feels alive with charm.
Produced in the 1970s by Home Interiors & Gifts (HOMCO), this model was part of a two-piece set, paired with the companion “Tuscany Girl with Grapes.” This individual piece, however, stands beautifully on its own—ideal for display on a mantel, curio, or as a centerpiece in any farmhouse or Mediterranean-style décor. The figurine remains in excellent vintage condition, free of chips or cracks, and retains its original gold HOMCO label on the base, confirming authenticity.
A graceful collectible for connoisseurs of porcelain art, vineyard-inspired décor, or vintage European figurines, this piece embodies rustic elegance and old-world tranquility.
