This charming Italian silver-tone snail figurine features a whimsical modernist design with wide cartoon eyes. With its exaggerated proportions and smooth, sculptural curves, it evokes the irreverent midcentury style often seen in Italian novelty brass objects, though this piece is silver-toned and made of a cast metal alloy. Stamped “Made in Italy” on the underside, this petite tabletop treasure adds instant personality to bookshelves, vanities, or curio cabinets.

Its stylized expression and jewel eyes nod toward the collectible surrealist and postmodern animal objects that are trending again across vintage decor. A unique conversation piece that pairs beautifully with eclectic, maximalist, and Hollywood Regency styles.

Estimated Year:
Likely 1970s–1980s, based on the font and aging of the original Made in Italy sticker, the silver-toned finish, and the stylized form consistent with Italian souvenir and novelty exports from that era.
