Vintage Ceramic Musical Clown. Measures 8" in height. Good condition. Music works. I do not know the song. Needs cleaning in crevices.
Add a touch of sophisticated whimsy to your decor with this elegant 8-inch musical ceramic clown. Unlike the typical multicolored circus figures, this piece features a striking all-white aesthetic that emphasizes its sculptural form and fine detailing. This monochromatic style was a popular trend in late 20th-century ceramics, designed to blend seamlessly with a variety of home styles, from minimalist modern to classic "Shabby Chic."
This figurine features an internal mechanical music box that remains in good working order, providing a gentle, melodic accompaniment to its graceful appearance. The lack of colored glaze allows the viewer to appreciate the intricate textures of the costume, including the tiered ruff and the delicate facial expression. The piece is in good vintage condition and retains a brilliant, reflective shine. As is common with detailed white ceramics that have been displayed, there is some light dust settled in the deeper crevices that could be easily refreshed with a soft brush to restore its pristine look. This clown is a perfect find for those who love the "clowncore" aesthetic but prefer a more refined, neutral palette for their display shelves or nursery.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old.
