Porcelain Clown

What kind of clown is this again?  Oh, looky here, down on the wooden base... there's a label... it says, "PORCELAIN CLOWN."  Good thing, I thought it was a marshmallow clown and was about to eat it.  Coulda broke a toof! 

Was wondering... is the dog on the ball made of porcelain too?  It isn't labelled as such... I can only assume.
