The 18cm pumpkin with light is an orange Halloween pumpkin with carved triangular eyes and a wide grin, which lights up from the inside. Place it among fake spiderwebs, candles, or a few smaller pumpkins, and it will become the focal point of your Halloween decorations. With a diameter of approximately 18 cm, it fits on a windowsill, on a sideboard, or in the middle of the set table for a Halloween party at home.
What does the illuminated pumpkin look like?
- The illuminated pumpkin has a diameter of approximately 18 cm.
- It emits light, so the carved face glows in a dark room.
- The face consists of two triangular eyes, a triangular nose, and a wide mouth with a few teeth.
- On top is a brown stem with dark, almost black leaves.
- The color ranges from deep orange along the ridges to a lighter, yellow-orange center, just like a real pumpkin.
The pumpkin lantern as a Halloween symbol
A pumpkin with a light behind a carved face is the most iconic image of Halloween. The custom of placing a light inside a hollowed-out vegetable comes from Ireland, where turnips were originally carved. In America, the pumpkin became the standard shape, and thus the orange grinning face also came to the Netherlands. With a ready-made pumpkin lantern, you don't have to hollow it out, and it won't rot like a real pumpkin.
Creating a Halloween corner around the pumpkin
The illuminated pumpkin works best as the centerpiece of a small display. Drape fake spiderwebs around it, place a witch's hat or a few plastic skulls next to it, and dim the other lights, then the orange grin will stand out more. On a party table, combine it with a black or orange tablecloth and napkins in the same colors.
