Murano Glass Clown Tomato hand-made in Italy, circa 1960’s – 1980’s.
Because of the fat, red, round belly, this vintage Murano Glass clown form is often called a ‘Tomato Clown’.
Each piece was handmade by an Italian glass artist and then applied together to form the clown. The feet and circle rim are in cobalt blue. The cobalt blue hat has applied rings of white glass. The hands, lips, nose, eyes, hair and ‘foliage’ collar are applied separately. Nice, thick, colorful vintage glass is sturdy and quality.
This Murano art glass clown measures 8″ tall, 5.75″ wide and 4″ thick. Weighs just under 2 lbs. In like-new condition. Perfect gift for your favorite clown lover.
