Hi and welcome:

Really hard to see what it is against the red background. It's much easier to give an opinion if you photograph against a white background (a curved sheet of white cardboard works well) or find a uncluttered, neutral background outside. My first impression is not Murano, but that might be because I'm not seeing the piece very clearly.

Hi
 The reason i was leaning towards Barbini was that i have seen an almost identical elephant on Ebay except it is turquoise and the base is the same and the gold flecks ?
Anyway here are some clearer photographs .

Your elephant is not Murano glass. The aventurine spots make it look like it Murano, but I think it is either Chinese or a personal small piece.

David369 sent me an email with the new photographs of the elephant as he was having trouble with posting them. Here they are.

I agree with Anita that it's not a Murano elephant. I don't think you would see a Murano elephant with colour on a white (lattimo) base.  I don't recognize the maker, sorry.
