You can't have a good Wassail without a decent Kentish Cider!
Wassailing has long been a tradition in cider-making counties in Autumn, however in Kent we take part in the Orchard Wassail, traditionally held on Twelfth Night in the New Year. Weilding burning torches, villagers take to the orchard to tie red ribbons amongst the apple tree branches and sing Wassailing songs in the hope of a bounty of apples for the next harvest!
Our Wassail ghost is a vibrant green to represent the apples used in cider-making, with random metallic golden mists, representing the flaming torches and rich harvest the Wassailing will bring.
Each Kent Coast Ghost is carefully handcrafted from clay and goes through several processes which include drying, sanding, sealing, painting, and finally varnishing, (dependent on the final finish). We don't use moulds to create our ghosts - every feature is added by hand using traditional clay tools - so every single one has its own unique features. Some of our ghosts are not perfectly straight, or may have different expressions in their eyes and faces...
They are also individually hand-painted so may contain slightly different patterning to the ghost pictured. This means that your ghost will not be exactly the same as the one photographed, as each one is as unique as you are.
All of our ghosts will be sent in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity especially for your ghost, and yours alone. These are put in a special envelope sealed with our very own special spooky wax seal.
Different screen resolutions can change the accuracy of the colours slightly, and your ghost may look different from the one pictured due to the handmade nature of these curious creations. Please also note the certificate of authenticity pictured will be unique to your ghost and will contain different information.
