JENNY GIRKE (AUSTRALIA)

Jenny has been collecting Murano Clowns for the past 20+ years and has some fantastic pieces which she has very kindly agreed to share with us here.  She has also provided us with some invaluable information regarding the big bow tie clowns!  Thank you so much Jenny.

Meet Joey who comes with his original box and documentation which is dated 1978.  'In Joe Grimaldi's memory, all bow tie clowns are now affectionately nicknamed 'Joey'.

CRAIG WEEKS (UK)
Craig was left a number of clowns from his Grandmother.  Not knowing much about them he decided to do some research online and found this site.  Since then he has developed an interest in collecting and has some lovely pieces in his collection.
