Vintage Porcelain Clown with Horn and Tamberine Figure. Measures 12" in height. Very good condition. Has a spot that has antique store sticker residue I can't get off, see photo.
This vintage porcelain clown is a vibrant piece of mid-century-inspired circus memorabilia, standing a commanding twelve inches tall. Capturing a moment of musical performance, the figure is depicted holding both a horn and a tambourine, rendered with a glossy finish that highlights the bright, multicolored polka dots of its costume. The classic ruffled collar and oversized buttons evoke the playful, high-energy aesthetic of traditional big-top performers, making this a standout piece for any collection of whimsical curiosities.
With its bold colors and musical theme, this figurine serves as a fantastic "theatrical curiosity" for a sunroom or a creative studio space. It offers a touch of nostalgic kitsch that pairs well with other circus-themed decor or vintage toys. The porcelain is in very good condition, retaining its brilliant colors and smooth texture. There is a small area of adhesive residue from a previous antique store sticker, as noted in the photography, which speaks to its journey through various collections. It remains a soulful find for collectors of porcelain clowns or those looking to add a pop of joyful, vintage personality to their home.
