This Murano Glass cat is a freedom-loving creature, just like those cats who roam the streets and squares of Venice in search of adventure. With its large yellow eyes and a pose that speaks of waiting in anticipation yet readiness to run at the first sign of danger, this Venetian cat reflects the freewheeling nature of felines. They may be inclined to befriend you, but only on their own terms, and it’s impossible to hold these independent creatures in one place for long. Crafted by a third-generation Murano maestro, this cat is an amazing work of art, delicate, beautiful, and unique, just like Venice itself.
- Measurements: The cat measures about 3 inches in height and 3 inches in width
- This cat figurine is an authentic work of Murano Glass art, handcrafted in a traditional workshop on Murano island according to the techniques and traditions that originated here centuries ago
- The cat has an attached sticker of the official Murano Glass Consortium and comes with the certificate of authenticity
- The figurine comes very well packaged to avoid any damage in transit
- Every Murano Glass piece is handcrafted and unique. Small variations of form and color are possible, and constitute not a defect but a feature of authentic Murano Glass
Workmanship
Lampworking is one of the most recognized Murano Glass techniques, which is used by Venetian master artisans to create a variety of Murano glassware such as sculptures, figurines, jewelry and more under a small flame by manipulating special Murano Glass canes and working with basic instruments to achieve elaborate and artistic designs limited only by the artisan's imagination. Making each figurine one at a time, finely crafting every detail, the Venetian masters demonstrate impressive skill and artistic talent, the signature features of authentic Murano Glass.
