Description
This cheerful ceramic planter takes the shape of a little pumpkin, with a grinning jack-o'-lantern face on the front and a black succulent rising from the top. The body is glazed in a bright, glossy orange with soft ribs running down its sides, just like a real pumpkin, while the face is picked out in black: two triangle eyes, a triangle nose and a wide smile with square teeth. Around the back it is plain orange, so it looks tidy from every side. It stands 10cm high and measures 8cm across and 8cm deep, a compact size that tucks onto even a crowded shelf.
Halloween is its season, and it is made to be seen. Set it on a windowsill, a mantelpiece, a desk or a hallway shelf and it adds a friendly bit of spooky fun without taking up room. Its size lets it sit happily among candles, gourds and autumn leaves, or hold its own on a bedside table or a kitchen dresser. Because the succulent comes ready in the pot, there is nothing to arrange before it goes out. It also makes a fun little Halloween gift, or a last touch for a party table when guests are on their way.
The pot is ceramic with a glazed finish, which gives it that smooth, sweet-shop shine. The succulent sits in a bed of small pebbles that fills the opening neatly. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and wipe the glaze with a damp cloth if it needs more. Ceramic can chip if it is knocked, so give it a steady spot back from the edge of a shelf. When the season is over, wrap it in tissue and box it away with your other Halloween pieces, ready to bring out again next October.
