Inspired by the legendary jewels of Tolkien’s mythology, Silmaril dazzles with a kaleidoscope of radiant color captured within hand-blown glass. Flashes of emerald, sapphire, ruby, and gold shimmer across its sculpted surface, recalling a treasured light that seems to glow from within.
Measuring approximately 4.5" in diameter, this hand-crafted pumpkin brings a touch of fantasy to autumn decorating. Its rich, jewel-like colors echo the vibrant beauty of fall foliage, while its craftsmanship celebrates the warmth, wonder, and storytelling traditions of the harvest season.
Lighting & Display
Hand‑blown glass transforms with changes in light and placement. When lit from beneath, hidden hues emerge and the pumpkin takes on a warm, glowing presence. For an extra touch of warmth, place your pumpkins on an LED Light Base. The gentle light brings out their shifting colors and adds a soft, welcoming glow.

Display Tip: Set your pumpkins on an LED Light Base to highlight their shifting colors and bring a cozy, inviting glow to your space.
