Charming vintage push-up puppet featuring a hand-painted clown figure with a bright smile, blonde hair and a floral dress trimmed with lace. The colourful cone base is decorated with a geometric design in green, purple and cream, and the figure pops in and out when the wooden rod underneath is pushed.
A nostalgic mid-century novelty toy, likely made in Europe, combining painted wood, fabric and paper craftsmanship. Now collected mainly as a decorative ornament or display piece, it captures the playful character of post-war handmade toys.
Good vintage condition with light age-related wear to the paint and cone. The movement mechanism works smoothly.
