hi there
does have have much wear to the base? and does it look like genuine wear?.
these have been reproduced so many times, ive come accross ones with a brand new sticker made in china plus i believe they where selling them in TK MAXX for a while. Ive also come across new ones with old stickers put on them!!
Im not suggesting yours is a new one it may be a 1960's one from Murano somebody alot more experienced than me would be able to tell you for definate

Ebay No.200375195879 looks very close to your clown.

Take no notice of the 'Scorpion marks' that people use in their descriptions.  They are NOT manufacturers marks, they're simply where the buttons (and other accessories to the clown) have been cut off with cold shears which have left a combination of lines on the glass.

It's probably best to avoid buying clowns (unless you really love them or are a connoiseur  ) because there's been a massive influx from China quite recently.
