Vintage Large Capodimonte Clown Figure. Measures about 12" in height by 5.5" wide. Good condition.
Bring the spirited whimsy of the Italian circus into your home with this vintage large-scale Capodimonte clown figurine. This impressive 12-inch musical figure captures a hobo-style clown in the middle of a performance, masterfully holding a fiddle to his chin while a coordinating marching drum sits at his side.

The intricate details extend from the individual buttons on his waistcoat to the realistic wood-grain texture of the musical instruments.

It is a standout addition for collectors of musical memorabilia or those looking for a sophisticated "Clowncore" accent piece.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
