One small crate, heaped with the best of the market.

A fruit art print in soft watercolor, Mini Fruit Crate shows one low wooden crate piled with figs, apricots, cherries and plums, with lettering and tiny hearts above it. It brings a market-stall mood to a kitchen wall, on matte paper made to hang unframed or framed.

The design: a crate of picked fruit, painted soft

One small, low crate of light wood sits at the center, filled with two purple figs (one whole, one cut open to show its pink inside), apricots with a few green leaves still attached, pairs of red cherries on long stems and round purple plums. A soft peach wash glows behind it on a cream background.

Above the crate, the words Mini Bites of Joy are lettered on three stacked lines in rounded, hand-written-style letters of rose-brown, with two or three small outline hearts floating alongside. The look is gentle and hand-painted, with no people and no table in the picture, only the fruit and plenty of cream space around it.

In the five square sizes the whole crate and all three lines of lettering still fit, with a little less cream above and below.

Who it's for

Home cooks, bakers, farmers-market regulars and anyone who likes a kitchen wall that looks like a fruit stall. It suits a dining nook, a pantry door, a breakfast corner or a café-style shelf. A first apartment, a cook's anniversary or a host's dinner-table gift are easy occasions for it.

Quick answers

What does the watercolor look like up close?

Soft and hand-painted, with gentle edges and pastel washes rather than photographic detail, so it reads as a painting even on the smallest sizes.

Are the lettering and hearts part of the print?

Yes, both are printed on the poster itself. There is no extra caption, logo or border to add or remove.

Can it hang near the stove?

Keep it off the wall right above the sink or stove, where steam and splashes reach the paper. A dry spot on a dining wall or beside a pantry door is better, away from direct sun.

How big should it be over a breakfast table?

An 11″×14″ (27.9 × 35.6 cm) or 12″×12″ (30.5 × 30.5 cm) suits a small table. A long, empty wall can take 18″×24″ (45.7 × 61.0 cm) or larger.
