Fabulous Hand Made Brevettato Clown Decanter

Step right up! This charming and characterful vintage Italian clown decanter is a showstopper for any collector of mid-century bar ware or Italian art pottery. Hand formed and hand painted, this jovial Auguste clown is dressed to entertain in a richly detailed yellow costume with a ruffled white collar and striking cobalt blue buttons. His rosy red nose, wide open laugh, and expressive face capture the spirit of the classic circus clown at his most festive.

Marked Brevettato — the Italian designation for a patented, registered design — this piece was crafted with artisan pride in the great Italian ceramic tradition, likely from the 1950s–1970s. The clown’s black top hat serves as the stopper, making this a fully functional decanter as well as a wonderful display piece.
