Standard Kettle Gourds
Please Note: The photos are meant as a general representation of the shapes of gourds you can expect to receive. Because gourds are a natural product, they are not guaranteed to sit flat and may have a round bottom (this is especially common in Tall Body gourds).
Finally! A gourd selection perfect for when you need a kettle for your gourd projects! The base, or main body, of these beautiful gourds is taller than most canteen gourds, great for when you want round gourds with some height. They may have small cracks, scarring, and other shell blemishes which make each gourd unique. Get inspired by some round-body gourd art below!
Shown above, Gourd Sizing Board
Small: Approx. 5-6.9" Diameter*
Medium: Approx. 7-8.9" Diameter*
Large: Approx. 9-10.9" Diameter*
Mixed Sizes: Approx. 5-10.9" Diameter*
*Please note: Gourds will be bigger than the size shown on the sizing board because there is a range from one size hole to the next. For example, a gourd that sits on the 9-inch ring and passes through the 10-inch ring on our sizing board is priced as a 9-inch gourd, even though it could be as big as 9.9 inches. Watch our Gourds 101 video to see how we price our gourds. Gourds are sized by their diameter, which is the widest point of the gourd straight across.

*For Pre-Boxed gourds, refunds are given on the entire box, not individual gourds. Sorry, we cannot refund individual gourds from a Pre-boxed group because the price reduction offered on these boxes (as compared to Custom Order gourds) is based on the group of gourds as a whole. Shipping is not included in the refund.
