This decorative Murano glass figurine, handcrafted in the 1980s, depicts a stylized monkey shaped in the spirit of Italian modernism. The highly polished, mirror-like surface reveals a refined play of colors: the body transitions smoothly from warm amber-brown to milky white, the head is a deep, lustrous brown, and the expressive eyes are crafted from clear and black glass. The ears are rendered in translucent amber-yellow, while the elegantly curled tail is made from transparent glass, underscoring the artisan skill characteristic of Murano workshops. The base is flat and precisely ground for stability. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or intervention—this piece is preserved in very good condition.This sculpture echoes the voice of 1980s Italian design: a free-spirited experimentation with color and proportion, a lightness of form, and a playfulness that transforms a classic motif into a modern statement. Its glossy surface reflects the light, and the gradients shift with every angle, as if the monkey is telling a story of Venetian imagination and craftsmanship. The silhouette captures a sense of childlike curiosity and cheerful mood, hallmarks of the era.The figurine can be displayed together with other Murano glass objects on a sideboard, shelf, or console in the living room to form a collector’s vignette. It will work well in eclectic and contemporary interiors, where its distinctive color palette and dynamic form can be fully appreciated. It may be paired with ceramics, matte metal accents, or a minimalist background, allowing the glass to stand out as the focal point of the arrangement.
