      The little rounded ears had me thinking she was a baby monkey from the thumbnail!
      And with those little rounded ears and the swishing tail- she's a lovely color, light teal or blue-green? The pose is very elegant- she's sitting there all very calm and relaxed.

      Cute piece and in great shape for something 60-70 years old.

      Thanks Scott for your lovely comment, I am just delighted that you love this Murano cat, it was very hard to come by and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it

      Searching thank you for your awesome compliments, it is rather a good version of the upward slanted eye Barbini cat and of course it's always a joy to have the label esp with non-US glass animals

      You are so amazingly perceptive Lauren, when I got this I too thought the ears more like a monkey than a cat - but then viewing other cats by this artist, he had the ears in all weird ways, pointed, rounded, up, down etc, so crazy like the Italian styles of that era! Thank you for your always fabulous comment

      MrsT that is so true, thinking of the age of this cat I was lucky to find it in such good condition, and it is rather a cutie :) Thank you so much for your sweet comment

      Thanks Phil for your wonderful comment on the modeling of this Murano cat, quite stylish for its era and a real standout next to its 'friends' on my display cabinet
