A hand-blown art glass figurine depicting a whimsical clown, in the style of mid-20th-century Murano production. The figure features a green glass top hat atop yellow hair, a white glass face with a large white-rimmed mouth, and brown eyes. The neck is adorned with a prominent ruffled collar in translucent shades of orange and yellow. The torso is fashioned from a multi-coloured scrap glass core encased in clear glass, accented by a large green glass button on the chest. The arms are green glass terminating in white ruffled cuffs, and the figure stands on oversized, polished black glass shoes. The vibrant colour palette and construction techniques are characteristic of Venetian glass craftsmanship. No factory marks, signatures, or labels are visible.
