Whether your space calls for a large centerpiece or a small artistic accent, these handblown glass pumpkins and gourds in semi-translucent MERLOT red hit the spot. Individual pieces are striking on their own, or group them together for greater impact. Mix and match from our pumpkin colorways for an especially striking centerpiece! Each handcrafted piece in the exquisite pumpkins and gourds collection features a tightly curled stem and rich accents on the ribs and shoulders.

The MERLOT colorway features layers of rich garnet red with a faint sheen or of violet at the ribs, which are accented with silvery-gold. PLEASE NOTE: the photos show the exact same batch of pumpkins, in natural light (brick background) and in a studio setting (black background). This color will have different tones depending on how it is displayed and how much light is coming through the semi-translucent bodies.

MERLOT pumpkins and gourds are available in seven different shapes/sizes. All sizes listed are approximate. Each piece is individually blown and hand sculpted, not formed from a mold. Each piece is signed.

About Pumpkins with Purpose
Our blown glass pumpkins and gourds are hand-crafted by a team of skilled artisans in our Colorado hotshop. Featuring richly layered colors and refined accents, these pumpkins also serve a broader purpose. Blowing glass often requires teamwork and assistance from others--much like surviving and thriving in life is easier done with the supportive assistance of family, friends, and a broad community.

Through our Pumpkins with Purpose program, we donate a percentage of each sale to select non-profits that are working to share art, creativity, joy, support, advocacy, empowerment, and understanding within the United States

Care Instructions

Our pumpkins and gourds are sturdier than they may seem, but we still recommend that you handle with care. 

Lift the pumpkin/gourd from the main loop of the stem and hold one hand underneath the body of the pumpkin. 

Clean the curly stem with a feather duster and the body with a damp cloth using a bit of windex or other glass cleaner. 

To ship or store pumpkins/gourds, gently wrap bubble or tissue around the curly stem as well as plenty of bubble around the body of the piece. Pack in a box with at least 2” of cushioning on all sides; for shipping we highly recommend double-boxing.
