Anyone of a certain age will remember the 1980s craze for all things Pierrot, the wistful sad clown who originated in the Commedia dell’Arte (been there, bought the cushion). Well, now he’s back with a vengeance – there’s a veritable troupe of children’s goodies emblazoned with his image and those of his fellow funnymen. Here are ten of our favourites (although both Mini Rodini and The Velvet Egg’s collections have myriad other clownish treats to check out).
