Equal parts adorable, unusual, and wonderfully kitschy, this vintage clown juicer set from the 1950s - 1960s is the kind of piece that makes you stop and smile.
The set includes two coordinated ceramic clown juicers in different sizes, each cleverly designed with a removable clown-head citrus reamer nestled into his oversized ruffled collar. Lift the top away and the clown’s body becomes the vessel below - because apparently even fresh-squeezed orange juice deserved a little personality!
Hand painted in a soft peach and cream palette with cheerful green, yellow and orange accents, the sleepy-eyed clown faces, tiny shoes, colorful buttons and whimsical details give these pieces loads of vintage charm.
The larger piece is marked Tivoli Ware - Hand Paint - Made in Japan, making this a charming example of vintage Japanese novelty ceramics. Age-related crazing, variations in the hand painting and other signs of use may be present and are part of their authentic vintage character. Please see pictures for condition and measurements.
Perfect for the collector of vintage Japanese ceramics, clown collectibles, kitschy kitchenware, unusual juicers, or anything delightfully odd.
Because squeezing oranges out of a clown’s head is certainly one way to start the morning!
A little old. A little odd. A Gay Ol’ Time.
