2017 Ashland Skull Serving Bowl Embellished
aka. 2017 Michaels Craft Store Skull Bowl Embellished
Skull bowl/mug/candy dish from Michael's craft store, made by in-house manufacturer Ashland. Is upheld by three skeletal hands. Came in both a white and satin black. Originally sold for more, but I bought the last one during their end of Halloween Season close-out. This one has eyes embellished by me, Trader Tom, using reconstituted turquoise, clear resin, and pink fake jewel pupils.

2017 Ashland Skull Serving Bowl Embellished
aka 2017 Michaels Craft Store Skull Bowl Embellished in 1 collection
This is a skull headed bowl supported by a tripod of three skeletal hands. Issued in both a white and a black version for the Halloween 2017 season. 2019 saw the same design issued in an unglazed rougher version which was then hand-painted for Day of the Dead. As an "embellished" piece, this item has been customized by a second party (not the original artist or manufacturer) and as such, colors and other details vary -- each "embellished" piece is different and unique. Embellishment is usually done through use of enamel paint, but not always.
