Porcelain Clowns

I found these two Clowns at my local Goodwill. They are not exactly the same. The shape and paint are alittle different. They are nicely detailed and very cool. The coats they are wearing look like it has real gold on them. They look vintage but I'm not exactly sure because i do not see any writing on them. If anyone can tell me anything about them i would appreciate it very much! Thank you!

 

We need to see pics of the bottoms,even though theres no writing you can often tell other things from them.And welcome.

 

Thank you! They are 8 inches tall.

 

Yes, full image always please and you can put up to 10 per post.

 

There was a guy on the old ebay boards named Wally who collected clowns and he'd have known in a second.

 

Thank you!

 

Im thinking 1960s Japanese or Chinese.But I could be wrong.

 

Thank you very much!

 

I think johnnycb may be correct. People who collect clowns could tell you more. One of the most famous clown guys was Ron Lee. Here's a clip from the website to show you the detail on his.

Here's one link to a collectors website

Thank you so much for being very helpful! I will check out the websites and hopefully will get more information. Thank you for taking your time to help me! Have a great day!

 

That's why we're here - trying to help each other learn. Some collectors specialize in the high end stuff like Ron Lee, but others are just collectors. I follow a Facebook page called the Golden Glow of Christmas Past and you would be totally amazed at the level of collecting, from the smallest, least expensive pieces to the big Kugel ornaments that go for thousands.
