The brass clown figure was a gift to Coward on the occasion of his seventieth birthday from Irene Worth who starred in Shadows Of Evening, which Coward referred to...as one of the best plays I have ever written.
The dish was presented to Coward whilst on tour in the Middle East entertaining the troops during the Second World War.
