When Captains in ports such as Newport, RI would go to sea to ply their trade in the Age of Sail, they would leaves for months at a time and come home with exotic goods. Among the exotic items that would be displayed at the home of a returning Sea Captain would be the Pineapple. The display of the Pineapple meant that the Captain was home and people were welcome to call. Hence, at least as legend has it, the Pineapple became a Welcome symbol. 

Made From RI hearkens back to these days with the Pineapple Greeting Ornament. The Pineapple Greeting Ornament is 100% handmade in Rhode Island from solid brass, finished in 24 karat gold, screen printed with exquisite color. What Welcome could be more extravagant?
