Vintage Porcelain-Headed Clown Doll, Multi-Coloured Fabric Costume, circa 1970-1980

A vintage decorative clown doll featuring a hand-painted porcelain head with a traditional white base, red nose, and black eye accents. The figure is dressed in a vibrant, multi-piece fabric ensemble comprising a light-blue polka-dot hat with matching sleeves, a yellow satin-finish vest adorned with two white buttons, a large purple bow tie with yellow trim, and purple trousers. The doll is finished with a shock of white synthetic hair and blue molded shoes decorated with painted white bows. While similar examples from this period were frequently produced in Europe and Asia for the giftware market, this specimen bears no visible manufacturer’s marks or labels. The construction is typical of collectible figurines from the late 20th century. No scale is provided, though similar models are often found in sizes ranging from 30cm to 55cm.
