Description
The moment the sun dipped behind the church tower, the street filled with small witches, ghosts and at least three lions. Each carried a basket, and the grandest of all belonged to Théo, whose jack-o’-lantern pail grinned back at every porch light. By the end of the evening it was so heavy that his older sister had to help carry it home, and they sat on the steps under the streetlamp sorting caramels from chocolates while the autumn wind rattled the leaves. Théo declared it the best haul in the history of the village, and nobody was in a position to argue.
This box is a porcelain echo of that treasured pail. Shaped as a jack-o’-lantern candy basket, it measures about two by two by two and three-quarter inches, a size that tucks easily into a stocking or a party favor bag. It is a lively gift for a child, a teacher who hosts the classroom Halloween party, or anyone nostalgic for the thrill of trick-or-treating. Arrange it among small gourds on a side table for an instant seasonal vignette. It makes a sweet companion for any of the black cat or witch pieces in a Halloween collection, and it looks just as merry beside a bowl of real sweets.
