Welcome to the board. We always need a base shot please. My guess would be Chinese rather than Murano though

You're in luck. It is not Chinese. It is a Murano glass piece of the type imported into the US by Jordan Import Co (JICO) in the 1960s. I have a picture of a labeled sommerso red one of this shape with the eyes and whiskers. Definite ID.
