Murano Style Millefiori Art Glass Clown Figurine

This item is a decorative art glass figurine depicting a clown, standing approximately 8 to 10 inches tall. The piece is crafted in the distinctive Murano style, featuring a vibrant multi-colored palette. The body of the clown is constructed using a millefiori technique, showing a dense patterning of colorful glass canes in shades of green, red, and yellow. It features a large, oversized green glass bow tie with internal striations, white ruffled cuffs, and a cobalt blue flared collar. The head is topped with a small red hat over yellow hair, and the face includes applied glass eyes and a red smile. The clown stands on integrated large, dark cobalt blue feet that serve as a weighted base. While no specific maker's mark is visible from this angle, the style is reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century Venetian glasswork (circa 1950s-1970s). The glass appears to be in good vintage condition with a high polished glass luster, though typical of hand-blown pieces, there may be minor internal air bubbles or artisanal irregularities in the glass application. No major cracks, chips, or structural repairs are immediately apparent on the exterior surfaces.
