Measurement Details (in US inches)
Oliver the Snowman Gourd - Approx. 14 inches tall
This unique lighted gourd snowman a great addition to your Christmas decoration collection.
How can you be ready for the Christmas season without this wonderful lighted Oliver gourd? Great to be used in a dining table centerpiece grouping – or perfect for a featured display in your home or even for your office credenza.
This handmade artist creation was crafted from a raw hard shell gourd on a farm outside of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Colored with leather dyes, a craftsman then carved intricate openings to allow the light of the interior bulb to escape. Because it has a simple snowman theme, it is perfect decor for the entire fall season.
Oliver stands tall and features a natural color to his gourd body. We love his top hat with matching scarf and he sports a metal cane, too.
Because the gourd is natural and not manufactured, the size and shape will vary slightly with each piece. That makes each a one-of-a-kind creation.
About The Artist
How was this gourd dried?
After they snip the gourd from the plant it is left in the fields for the next six months where it dries naturally.
How was it washed?
The skin on the outside is best removed after the gourd has soaked for two days and then scrubbed with a steel wool pad or hard bristled brush.
How was it cut and crafted?
The Meadowbrooke artists use jigsaws customized over the last 10 years to perfectly craft these creations. A crafter must train for at least a year and even then, only half of them go on to become a master cutter. (These gourds are not cut and contain the dried contents of a natural gourd.)
How was it finished?
After the gourd is dyed with leather dyes, the artists use satin finish polyurethane to complete them.
