Hollow stylised head, I haven't a clue about this one. It could be Japanese maybe, not even sure if there is much age to it. Any help very much appreciated.

Spotted one on ebay, listed as "1970's Retro Russian USSR Tekt Studio Pottery". Same shape, but matt brown.

Davee had one of these. Only recently identified it via similar one sold on ebay, but didn't find any aditional info.

Interesting discussion on another forum which identifies these as the products of an Estonian factory - Tallinna Ehituskeraamika Tehas - hence I suppose the Scandinavian look.

There are lots more if you go to "search" and paste in the name of the pottery.
