Let the Good Times Glow: Hand-Painted Deep Purple Mardi Gras Tree Bring the soul of the French Quarter right into your home! This isn't your average holiday decor-this is a deep, rich royal purple statement piece that captures the mystery and magic of a New Orleans night. Hand-crafted with a bit of "Laissez les bons temps rouler" spirit, this vintage-inspired ceramic tree is the perfect way to transition your home from Valentine's Day into the vibrant season of Mardi Gras. β¨ CHOOSE YOUR PERFECT GLOW We offer three distinct sizes to help you create the ultimate Mardi Gras display.

MEDIUM (12.5") - The ideal size for mantels, coffee tables, or entryways. LARGE (14.5") - A stunning dining table centerpiece or standalone statement piece. π THE FESTIVE DETAILS This isn't just a holiday tree; it's a piece of artisan pottery designed to dazzle: THE FINISH: Coated in a beautiful, luscious deep purple glaze that offers a stunning, mirror-like shine. THE LIGHTS: Traditional Mardi Gras palette of Purple, Green, and Gold pin lights that pop brilliantly against the dark purple ceramic. READY TO PLUG IN: Each tree includes a perfectly fitted glazed base, a night light bulb, and a 6ft cord with a two-prong plug. π¨ THE ARTISAN PROCESS Every tree is born in my personal studio through a meticulous, multi-day process: SLIPCASTING: Poured using premium ceramic slip for a sturdy, high-quality feel. HAND-FINISHING: Each tree must cure in the mold before being removed. I then hand-clean every seam and branch before the first kiln firing. THE TRIPLE GLAZE: To achieve that regal purple depth, I apply three individual coats of glaze, allowing each to dry before firing the piece a second time for a professional, lasting finish. HAND-SET JEWELS: Every jewel-toned pin light is hand-glued into place to ensure they stay secure. TESTED: Every base is fully wired and safety-tested before shipping. π A GIFT FROM THE BAYOU Whether you're a NOLA native or just love the rich history of Fat Tuesday, these trees bring the celebration to life.
