A quirky Murano, or Murano style glass sculpture of a clown holding a guitar. With no marks or labels, these can be hard to identify, as they were made by several different Murano factories, and were also made by Venetian Glass Company, which was a glass works in Blackpool, England, set up and operated by Franco Toffolo in the 1960's - 1980's. Franco previously worked for Venini in 1946-1950. He moved to the UK in 1965 and set up Venetian Glass Company, which made Murano style glassware including clowns.
