Vintage Halloween Witch Planter. Measures about 5.25" in height by 5" wide. The opening is about 4" by 2". Very good condition.
Bring a touch of "spooky-sweet" nostalgia to your autumn home with this delightful vintage Halloween witch and Jack-O-Lantern planter. This mid-century ceramic piece perfectly captures the playful kitsch of the 1950s and 60s, featuring a friendly witch standing guard beside a large, cheerful pumpkin. Measuring approximately 5.25 inches in height and 5 inches wide, the design cleverly utilizes the hollowed-out Jack-O-Lantern as a functional planter, with an opening of roughly 4 inches by 2 inches. This dual-figure composition was a popular style for holiday "head vases" and planters produced by iconic companies like Napco or Rubens, who excelled at creating character-driven decor that felt like a tiny story come to life.
The planter is in very good condition, with the high-gloss glaze maintaining its rich saturation—from the pumpkin's iconic safety orange to the witch's deep midnight black. For the modern vintage enthusiast, this piece is an ideal addition to a "maximalist" Halloween display or a "cottagecore" kitchen windowsill. It is perfectly sized for a small succulent, a handful of festive candy corn, or even a bundle of dried fall wheat. Whether you are styling a "dark academia" library shelf or looking for a centerpiece for an "eclectic boho" Halloween brunch, this witch and her pumpkin companion offer an authentic slice of mid-century Americana that is sure to enchant guests and collectors alike.
