Vintage Murano Glass Clown Figurine 16cm Venetian Art Glass Mid Century Italian Handblown Orange White Hound Dog Like Features Collectible

Whimsically charming mid-century hand-blown Murano art glass clown figurine.

Standing at 16 cm tall, this lightweight accent piece features an extraordinarily unique, anthropomorphic dog-like face crafted in opaque white glass with floppy ears and a playful expression.

The slender torso showcases classic Venetian glassmaking mastery, showcasing vibrant, multi-colored internal glass ribbons (canna / zanfirico style) trapped elegantly beneath a crystal-clear outer layer. He is beautifully finished with a multi-toned orange ruffled cape, dark applied glass buttons, oversized cartoonish feet, and detailed white hands.

Dimensions:

Height: 16 cm
Width: 6.5 cm
Depth: 4.5 cm
Weight: 200 grams

Condition:

This piece is in very good vintage condition, which is highly rare for these delicate glass figures.

Fingers & Feet: The oversized white hands, delicate fingers, and wide feet are completely smooth, intact, and entirely free of chips, fleabites, or post-production damage.
Artisan Tool Marks: True to authentic, mid-century hand-blown glass, this piece features original artisan manufacturing artifacts. You will find rounded shear cuts and tool indentations where the orange cape was snipped and fused to the dark buttons. Tiny, locked internal air bubbles and faint surface cooling creases (straw marks) are present—serving as a signature of hand-crafted Venetian heritage, not factory machine-molding.

Note: Minor vintage shelf dust is present on the white glass surfaces, which can be gently rinsed away with warm water and mild dish soap.
