Vintage Ceramic Scarecrow & Pumpkin Luminary | 1970s/80s Halloween Decor

Bring nostalgic, handcrafted charm to your fall and Halloween decor with this delightful vintage ceramic scarecrow luminary. Pieces like this were popular from the 1970s to the 1980s, either sold painted or as DIY bisque molds.  ​This beautifully hand-painted figure features a smiling scarecrow in a vest, red scarf, and a green, witch-hat-style brim, standing on a pile of three jack-o'-lantern pumpkins. A charming little squirrel holding an acorn is nestled on the base, along with stalks of corn.  ​The figurine is designed to be a light-up luminary: ​The hat is open at the top, and two of the front pumpkins have cut-out faces. ​The open bottom allows you to place a small light inside (a battery-operated tea light is highly recommended, for safety and ease of use, not included). The light will cast a cozy, spooky glow through the pumpkin faces and the small triangular cutouts around the brim of the scarecrow's hat.  ​This is a unique piece for your mantle, shelf, entryway table, or as a centerpiece for your Halloween or Thanksgiving display.  ​Key Details ​Era: Vintage, circa 1970s-1980s. ​Theme: Scarecrow, Jack-o'-Lanterns, Fall Harvest, Halloween. ​Material: Hand-painted ceramic or porcelain bisque. ​Function: Luminary/Light-Up Decor (requires battery-operated light, not included). ​Approximate Height: 12 in. tall, 7.5 in. wide ​Condition: Excellent vintage condition with vibrant, hand-painted details.
