Description
Stunning hand-blown art glass pumpkin featuring a rich amber-gold translucent body and a vibrant forest green curled stem. The piece shows beautiful ribbing and light-refracting qualities typical of artisan glass. It stands approximately 6-8 inches tall and makes a perfect center piece for autumnal or year-round glass collections.
Key Features
Hand-crafted appeal, timeless fall aesthetic, translucent amber colorway, sturdy glass weight, and high-shine finish.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence level: Medium. It lacks a visible maker's mark or signature on the base, which is common for boutique decor items. The presence of a smooth, polished pontil mark on the bottom would indicate higher-quality hand-blowing.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) on the stem tips or scratches on the base where it sits on the table; otherwise appears flawless.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping risks; Etsy or eBay for national reach targeting collectors of glass fruit.
Selling Tips
Photograph with backlighting to show the 'glow' of the amber glass. Use keywords like 'Hand Blown,' 'Murano Style,' 'Autumn Decor,' and 'Glass Pumpkin.' Double-box for shipping with plenty of bubble wrap.
