      I love this little monkey paperweight Jenni!!!
    2. LaurenRedmond LaurenRedmond, 2 years ago
      Have you go the rest of these monkeys in the set Jenni?! They'd be so fun all seated in a row together! I believe there's also a fourth one called 'do no evil' in which he's sitting with his hands under his bottom, I don't think you see him often enough included in the trio.
      I love his colour, very rich amber brown to him1

      Scott thanks so much for your wonderful comment, very glad you loved this monkey, doesn't he almost look carved, and a very intriguing pose - he has a secret he's not telling!

      You know Lauren I'm not sure if this Swedish glassmaker made the other two monkeys as I've only seen the one. However I posted a similar style monkey paperweight (look in search box for Viking glass monkey) in green in the "see no evil" pose, so there are probably others out there I'll have to keep searching - maybe "do no evil" is there too. They used to be called the three wise monkeys and I love the sentiment. Thank you for your terrific comment & praise for the color

      Thanks Justlooken for your really kind words and seeing the cuteness in this lil monkey, he may be swinging from the trees in gratitude :)

      Phil thank you for your great praise for my "speak no evil" monkey, you're so right the modeling of the face is really expressive here and the burnt orange color glass is pretty unusual
