This 1 3-4" clown brooch is enameled in ivory and dark blue on goldtone, with black button eyes and a bright red cab nose, signed Jomaz from the 1960s. Beside a 3 1-2"H aqua & white slag glass clown with his name Gabby, M for Mosser Glass and date 1981 imprinted on his back
The circus theme is very evident this week- the little clown brooch is really well designed. The deep navy blue colour is lovely too and even for a coulrophobic like me he's still very cheerful looking
Both are cute, Jenni! Nice display together!
Mosser Glass the last American glass company.
Many thanks to all for the love

Thank you Lauren for the fabulous praise & appreciation of my circus themed posts, yes it seems summertime and 4th July remind us of clowns, I remember as a kid finding them funny (Bozo was a TV show here with a clown as the star, all kids loved that show) then later being rather suspicious of these men hiding their face behind the greasepaint lol. But the cute ones still remind me of happy clowns & I'm very glad you liked this brooch too!
Thanks MrsT for the super compliments, I thought these guys made a cute combo as they're both wearing hats! The vintage aqua glass clown was from an auction, the site threw this piece at you with minutes to go and it was so reasonable I had to bid & won it, I esp loved his balloons & the color
Thanks fort for your great comment & yes it's true Mosser is the last of the US glass companies, they make beautiful pieces and even reissue many of the older ones. In the case of their glass animals I try to only post their older or retired ones as this is a vintage site, but they still make lovely new ones like a labrador dog, he's gorgeous
Thanks Kevin for loving my 4th of July clowns, I remember summer holidays going to the circus, and my fave parts included going backstage to visit the animals before the show - it was a bit smelly but fun for a kid lol!
These are fantastic and fun!
I let Elisabethan say what I also thought!!
Thanks Elisabeth & Karen for the fab compliments, I am glad you both saw the fun of these circus clowns, they are rather a cute pair for a summer holiday weekend I thought
Much appreciation for the kind love
