This pear is supposed to be 'Doyenne Blanc' originating in Italy 1600, but there are doubts as to its authenticity.

Still they taste very nice when ripe.

Nice, only nit is the lighting around the stem at the top, other than that as John said simple but nice.!

Looks very munchable for a 400 y.o pear David

It does look a bit odd around the stem as Brian mentioned, but nice and simple with a great looking surface texture.

Hi David,

Stalk mentioned. An interesting shot and well executed. Looks like a planet with the black BG.
