Meet the Murano Style Blown Glass Cat Figurine—part sculpture, part charmer. With a pinched clear head, tigerish amber-and-black body, and a flamboyant red tail, it’s designed to catch light and the eye in equal measure.
Around the late 20th to early 21st century, animal figures like this flooded décor markets, borrowing the language of Venetian glass while shifting production to high-output workshops.
The materials tell the story: thick, hand-worked soda-lime glass with internal ribboning, an applied tail and foot, and a glossy factory polish—more giftware than studio rarity.
Condition appears very good: I don’t see chips or cracks, just minor handling marks. The base isn’t shown, so I can’t verify a ground pontil, which would help with attribution.
Authenticity-wise, I place this at 25% for being true Murano—there’s no foil label or studio signature, and the palette is typical of contemporary imports. As a decorative piece, it still delights, and at auction I’d expect USD $20–60. Think of it as a bright, glassy wink to Venice rather than a passport from the lagoon.

Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
Attractive modern décor piece in the Murano idiom, but no foil label, signature, or documented provenance to support Italian manufacture. Color palette and construction are consistent with contemporary export glass from China. A word about fakes.. Murano animals are heavily copied; without the 'Vetro Artistico Murano' foil label or a recognized studio signature, treat as Murano style, not Murano.
这是一件具有穆拉诺语汇的现代装饰性玻璃作品，但缺少锡箔标签、签名或产地文件，无法证明意大利制造。颜色与工艺与当代中国外销玻璃相符。A word about fakes.. 此类别赝品很多——若无“Vetro Artistico Murano”锡箔标或知名工坊签名与凭证，应视作穆拉诺风格而非意大利穆拉诺制作。
