Got the 2 vases about 8 years ago ? at a local thrift store in my hometown for $3 each and the cat for free...a mix up on ebay... had purchase a $15 wreath from eBay Smithsonian store and received the glass cat...emailed them to tell them and they said to just keep the glass cat...week later received the wreath...contacted seller and he said keep wreath, no $ owed & "Merry Christmas" ????...all in mint condition no cracks or chips...thinking I did pretty good ???? :D

Well, I really feel stupid...fake China vases...found the 3rd one I bought...same time, same price, same place...it's dark green with reddish orange daisy like flowers and there it was on the bottom...the "made in China" sticker. Well I did say that I bought them because I thought the were pretty.
But,...the cat had the sticky tag on it...but dumb bunny here, took it off, damped it and scraped it off with my fingernails...it was on his face. Hope that doesn't decrease the value.
That is definitely one for the books! Don't know about the vases being Murano. The cat is beautiful! You can find it here:

Love the cat. One of my sisters collects glass cats and would love that one!
Actually, the thing is I love cats, have 3 plus 2 outside that belonged to my neighbor that moved.
