Black Cat Paper Mache Halloween Candy Bucket

A black cat candy bucket with vintage Halloween charm. Each one is crafted from painted papier-mâché and distressed by hand for a worn, slightly faded finish. As a result, it captures the look of old dime-store decorations. They paint the whiskers and nose by hand, just as they would have years ago.

Fill it with candy for trick-or-treaters, or set it out as a centerpiece. Either way, this black cat candy bucket brings a playful touch to Halloween.

Artisans make each black cat candy bucket in Valentine, Nebraska, where they continue to use traditional papier-mâché techniques. They layer, paint, and distress every piece by hand. Because of that, each cat has its own aged character. Vintage papier-mâché Halloween decorations have a devoted following among collectors, and this one captures that same handmade, charmingly off-kilter appeal we love.

• 5"H x 5.75"W
• Papier-mâché
• Wipe with a dry cloth

Styling Tip: Line a few up down the center of the table, or place a flameless candle inside for a soft glow. It also works as a treat bucket by the door or filled with autumn branches and dried florals. Plus, at just five inches tall, it holds plenty of candy without taking over a console or mantel.
