      He has such a strange tail- like a squirrel maybe? Anyway, I love the going to charge(or...rut?) kinda look. :P
      He's so icy looking- he'd make a really nice centerpiece for the holiday table décor I think

      I've got a deer here I bought about 10 years ago as Murano but I'm pretty sure it's from China. Nowhere near the quality of this beauty.

      Lauren thank you so much for your fab comment, I think that is a great idea to use this golden deer as a Christmas centerpiece on say a red or green tableau, very creative thought! I had to agree the tail looks rather long for a deer then I wiki'd the whitetail type, their tails can be a bit long. However, Murano animals frequently take artistic license and make unusual animals in unreal shapes, so perhaps they got a bit carried away here

      Thank you Scott for the wonderful compliment, he is a pretty extraordinary deer! When Murano makes an all gold piece though it photographs pale, it's too bad the pix don't show how sparkly the gold accents are - as they say, you have to see it :)

      Karen your deer sounds lovely I hope you will post it. Actually many countries do Murano style pieces, including China and Russia - I had a beautiful blue-green sommerso shark from Russia that I have misplaced since moving (natch), you could swear it had the Italian Murano look. I got this Murano deer online awhile ago, it is definitely vintage 50s with those aventurine streaks in the antlers, and has been attributed to Alfredo Barbini but without a label I can't be sure, though I have seen similar aventurine deer by Barbini and perhaps someone here will know better. Thank you for your gracious compliment glad you enjoyed this big guy
