Description
Exquisite hand-blown glass pumpkin, perfect for autumnal or Halloween decor. This piece features a rich, translucent amber hue that glows beautifully when caught by the light. The ribbed body is topped with a delicate, twisted green glass stem. It is solid and heavy, indicative of quality artisan glasswork.
Key Features
Hand-blown quality, popular fall aesthetic, vibrant amber color, heavy weight, and timeless design that fits both modern and farmhouse decor styles.
Authenticity Indicators
Hand-blown indicators include the unique twist of the stem and the pontil mark on the bottom. Lack of branding suggests it is likely a mass-market artisan piece from a retailer like West Elm, Pottery Barn, or HomeGoods. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor shelf wear on the bottom surface. Tiny internal air bubbles (common in hand-blown glass and not considered a defect). No structural flaws.

Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Hand Blown,' 'Amber Glass,' 'Fall Decor,' and 'Artisan.' Photograph the item with backlighting to show the translucency of the glass. Always double-box if shipping to prevent breakage.
