This Murano glass figurine from 1980 depicts a playfully stylized monkey, crafted by hand in Murano using multicolored glass. With dimensions of 31 cm in height, 24 cm in length, and 8 cm in width, the sculpture stands on a flatly polished base for stability. Its design features striking contrasts: a near-black, deep brown glossy head stands out against a warm, amber-toned translucent body gradually fading into a milky white section. The figure is finished with a curled, transparent amber tail and rounded ears, highlighting the whimsical character of the animal. Large convex eyes set in clear glass and a precisely modeled snout demonstrate remarkable attention to detail, while the overall minimalist, geometric visual language is characteristic of Murano's late 20th-century design. The condition is excellent, with no visible signs of damage, wear, or restoration; all elements are original and perfectly maintained.
The figurine speaks in the language of late 20th-century Italian craftsmanship—its shining, gradated colors tell a story of artistry that balances playful experimentation with light and hue against the minimalist restraint of a collectible object. The spiral tail, seemingly caught in motion, and prominent, curved eyes capture a sense of gentle humor, echoing the lightness and wit often celebrated by Murano glassmakers of the modernist era. This is an object that subtly draws the eye, inviting closer inspection rather than demanding display through opulence.
