    I was never all that into the Murano clowns but I thought this big piece was well-made and had a particularly evil-looking face with crescent moon eye pupils that amused me ;-)

    He can be stood up like a figurine or laid down for use as an XL ashtray

      I can't say for sure, but this could be an Alfredo Barbini clown. I can't find the clown "form," but the face lines right up with Barbini Clown Paperweights. The facial similarities suggest that this may be a Barbini piece.
