Vintage Wooden Clown Stacking Toy antique beach photo and what a fantastic use

and what a fantastic use of line--I find the combination of those waves of blue and green hair with those striped dresses just wonderful

with some losses toward the center

A single mushroom took about 15 days to complete from clay sculpture to final firing

or just bounce around a bit

including loads of wonderful antique primitives

Vintage Wooden Clown Stacking Toy antique beach photo and what a fantastic useI've rarely met an old wooden stacking toy I didn't like, and this is just a fun one, unmarked but I think perhaps made by Brio quite a while ago. The hat pulls off allowing one to arrange the discs in whatever way, and to turn the clown's hand painted head upside down if desired! 7" t x 3" in diameter and in good, well loved condition, and initialed in marker by its one time owner on the underside of the base.
