Adorable Victorian Girl Clown with Green Glass Body

6” tall

SPECIAL FEATURES

When we found the right whimsical combination of antique scrap head, arms and legs for this adorable barrel-shaped green ornament, this quickly became our favorite glass bodied ornament of all time! We started with an early 20^th century cylindrical ornament with its original pink polka-dots and turned it into a dress by adding antique and vintage trims, to include exquisite antique silk ruffle trim (which perfectly matches the paper skirt detail underneath). HANDMADE AND SIGNED BY GLENN GIAIMO.

THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT IS MADE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE MATERIALS to include: glass ornaments from the 1890s to1950s, most of which were made in Germany; colorful Victorian embossed & die-cut paper “scraps” and chromolithographs from postcards and advertising trade cards, made in Europe between the 1870s and 1910; antique and vintage fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; antique and vintage tinsel from tree garlands and old-stock German-made Lametta tinsel; gold and silver old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, foil, gift wrap, spun glass, and other embellishments. Items described as “antique” are dated between 1870 and the early 1900s (prior to WWI). Items described as “vintage” are dated between 1915 (WWI) and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use Dresden trims (only on occasion) and crinkle wire (always used for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
