Ceramic Autumn Pumpkin Lantern - Gilbert- seconds
All the details
Something of a mascot here at Glosters, Gilbert was first introduced as a simple and adorable pumpkin lantern - these days, he's become more adventurous with his outfits and accessories, and for Autumn 2025 he's donned a distinctive red and white toadstool hat.
Size:
Approx 9cm height (including hat) x 8cm width
Gilbert is the perfect autumn companion to Magda, Penelope and Steven, the other spooky Halloween lanterns in our Autumn 2026 launch - or lean into the whimsy and pair him with the pickle lantern. He is handmade from durable stoneware clay and coated in a resistant glaze both provided by our local suppliers.
All of the Welsh ceramics in our collection are made by hand in our workshop in Porthmadog, and all are eligible for flat rate £4.95 domestic UK shipping - what better excuse to get yourself new pottery mugs and stock up on Halloween decor and pottery gifts all in one go!

Pottery Care Instructions
Tableware
Can I put my tableware in the dishwasher?
Yes. All our ceramic tableware is dishwasher safe, including plates, bowls, and pouring and mixing bowls.
Can I use it in the microwave?
Yes, unless it has a metallic glaze. Metallic glazes can spark, so keep those pieces out of the microwave.
Will cutlery mark the glaze?
Occasionally, cutlery leaves grey marks on the glaze. Bar Keepers Friend removes them easily.
Mugs, muglets, mugsters & beakers
Can they go in the dishwasher?
Each handmade mug is made by hand, so we recommend washing it by hand too.
Can I microwave them?
We'd rather you didn't. To help your mug last longer, heat drinks in a jug or pan, then pour them in.
Jugs & vases
Are your vases watertight?
Yes. Each handmade vase has a clear glaze inside, so it holds water and keeps your flowers fresh.
How should I clean a jug or vase?
Wash them by hand.
The Pottery
Each piece we make has its own story as to how it began, how the form came about and the work emerged as part of our range.
We believe that the story, the soul of a piece, doesn't stop there. It continues with its new owner, where you bought it, why you choose that glaze.
All handmade ceramics hold far more than their original function. They hold memories from their maker, from their owner and all are individual.
A little glimpse behind the glaze
Handmade means hands-on, and that comes with its fair share of chaos. We wanted to let you in on what our workshop really looks like, clay dust, wonky first attempts and all, before a piece ever reaches your table.
