Terracotta Pumpkin, 15cm

A pumpkin you keep. No carving, no candle, no soft patch appearing by the second week of November.

Terracotta warms up under a porch light in a way a real pumpkin never quite does, and it comes back out every year, which we think is rather the point. Put it on the step, or on the hearth with the fire going.

Why we love it

• Brought out every autumn instead of thrown away every November
• Terracotta takes lamplight beautifully
• Heavy enough to stay put on a doorstep
• Autumn rather than Halloween, so it earns two months not two weeks

Lovely for

• A front step from the end of September
• A hearth, grouped with candles
• Anyone who is tired of buying pumpkins that rot
• A house with children and a strong view about pumpkins
