A wonderfully macabre little Halloween skull with a surprise flash of poisonous green.
This ceramic Skull Tea-Light Holder features a glossy bone-white skull exterior with hand-drawn gray and black skeletal detailing and a vivid translucent-looking green interior. Openings through the eyes, nose and mouth allow candlelight to glow through the face when a tea light is placed inside.
Skull Tea-Light Holder/planter/Decor
Item No. 200-4016B
Marketed originally by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Made in China
At approximately 3” high × 6” long × 4” wide, it has enough presence to work on its own while still being compact enough for a Halloween shelf, tiered display, cabinet, cubby, mantel or collected vignette.
I especially love this piece incorporated into a curiosity-cabinet style Halloween display. The open top can also be creatively styled with a small decorative orb or other lightweight seasonal object, as shown in one of our photographs. Decorative accessories shown are not included.

Age / Era
I would describe this as early-2000s to 2010s Halloween décor unless we uncover a dated Walmart catalog or archived listing for item 200-4016B.
I would not call it vintage yet without firmer dating. “Older Walmart Halloween” or “retired Walmart Halloween décor” is safer.
Condition
Pre-owned condition with light surface wear consistent with age, display and storage. Original retail label remains attached to the underside. Some light wear/soiling is visible around the unglazed base rim. No obvious major chips or cracks are visible in the photographs. Please review all photos closely as they form part of the description.
