Description

LE MOSSER GLASS MINIATURE PEE WEE BALLOON CLOWN PLATE IRIDIZED CUSTARD COLOR
This is a darling little miniature collectible limited-edition glass plate picturing a clown holding a group of balloons.
It was made by the Mosser Glass Company in Cambridge, Ohio back in the 1980’s.
These little plates were made in conjunction with clown figurines by the same maker.
This clown plate is known as the “Pee Wee” clown plate and is a one-half scale of the original “Balloon Clown” series plates.
This plate has been in my personal collection since the 1980’s.
The plate in my photos is the actual pieces you will be receiving, everything except for the container of toothpicks.
The plate is marked on the border on the front side “ALL THE WORLD LOVES A CLOWN”, with the figure in the middle.
The idea with all of these little glass clowns and plates was to make a limited number of them each month, each one in a different color.
At the time, back in the 1980’s, new glass pieces made in this “limited edition” manner were a very “hot” collectable and so popular that there were numerous “new glass” shows being promoted around the country.
I do my best to describe all items as accurately as possible and to the best of my ability.
