Title: glass Murano Cat
Post by: silver stain on November 11, 2021, 11:18:54 AM

Hi  :)  I just bought this lovely cat !
Obviously old piece made in Murano. I'd like to have suggestions about the glass Master.... I was thinking about Archimede Seguso ....Formia ?    Thanks for your help

Hi, the cat reminds me of an Alexandrite cat I've seen with I think red eyes.  I will see if I can find it.
In the meantime there are some cats on this page which might help with your search.

I like the decor - really lovely depiction of a tortoiseshell cat :)

Does this one have similarities?

This could be Formia,  now known as Fornace Mian.  They made some 'tortoiseshell' glass animals.
