Description

6 lb Hand-Blown White Opaline Glass Pumpkin, Polished Pontil

A statement-size studio art-glass pumpkin with a soft white, opaline “snow” pattern and a graceful clear stem. The speckled look comes from sprinkling white frit onto molten glass before blowing—each piece comes out uniquely marbled. The underside shows a ground & polished pontil (that’s the spot where the blowpipe was detached), a hallmark of hand-crafted work. Hollow and unmarked, it’s the kind of clean, contemporary form that works for fall décor and beyond—centerpiece today, sculptural objet all year. Bonus: it’s the only pumpkin that looks great and has zero calories.

Condition:
Excellent with no damage. Clean, glossy surface; expected tiny internal bubbles and subtle maker nuances from the hand-blowing process. Polished bottom. Unmarked.

Dimensions (inches):
Diameter 11 x Height 14.
Weight: 6 lbs.
Notes: Hand blown, hollow form. Soup can shown for scale in photos.
