Description: MCM BIG EYED HARLEQUIN GIRL LITHO TOFFEE TIN This listing features an adorable but sad big-eyed girl candy tin from 1950s England. She wears the costume and black mask of the most popular Commedia dell'Arte character, Arlecchino, or Harlequin*, who was the Italian forebearer of the modern clown. This little girl is in no mood for the gaiety of the party in her background and a sweetie might have helped make things better. That is smart marketing for any age! A small 3-ounce tin, it measures 5 inches in diameter by 1 inch tall and is in good condition. It has 3 little bumps on the base, bears age-appropriate wear inside and out, and is empty and clean inside. Research finds it was made by Penguin Confectionary Co., Inc. of Carlisle, England sometime around 1955.
