The star fruit, also known as carambola, is native to Southeast Asia and is best known for its distinctive appearance: when cut crosswise, it reveals beautiful star-shaped slices, which is where it gets its name. In its native region, it grows on tropical trees and is often eaten fresh, processed into juices, or used as a decorative ingredient in salads and desserts. With its waxy, yellow-green skin and juicy, sweet-and-sour flesh, it’s considered an exotic rarity that’s also becoming increasingly common on fruit shelves here. Its unusual shape makes it a real eye-catcher—not only on a plate but also as a model for artistic replicas.
This glass figurine depicts a star fruit in an oval, slightly wavy shape with five characteristic longitudinal ribs. The surface shimmers in a warm yellow with greenish accents along the edges.
