Clown with Flower Bouquet Numbered Limoges Figurine
A circus clown holds out a bright bouquet of flowers on this numbered Limoges figurine box, marked No. 1 of 500. It is hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France, and a limited edition piece that collectors will want to record.
Send in the Clown
Offering flowers is the classic clown gesture, part apology, part flirtation, and always good for a laugh from the bleachers. The bouquet brings bursts of color to the figure and gives it a friendly, open look rather than a mischievous one.

Cheer in Every Season
A clown with flowers makes a cheerful birthday present, a get well wish, or a bright thank you for a nurse, teacher or volunteer. Retired circus performers, magicians and theater folks tend to smile at it right away.
Edition numbers matter to many collectors, and owning the first number in a run of 500 is a detail that tends to come up whenever the piece is shown. Keep a note of it with your collection records, and give it a place at eye level on a shelf of entertainers, where the flowers and the painted face can be seen clearly.
