Three 1970s abstract signed studio pieces with sgraffito decoration

Two terracotta vases and a stoneware sculpture, all decorated with sgraffito. The two vases have abstract nudes, one male and one female... or close approximations thereof... and the sculpture is a pair of leaping fish, obviously.

They should be Scandinavian, most likely Danish - as they were bought from a Danish house-clearer.

All are signed to the base with some indecipherable and a date - the vases are '76 and the sculpture '77. Tallest piece is about 30cm / 12".

Love them...love them. You selling them

did you ask Mark?

I'm confused by that

I didn't buy them from Mark (he's a dealer both Dan & I know, Brin). Did show them to him, though, and he didn't recognise them.

Really wouldn't know what to sell them at if I did part with them (I do especially like the fishy sculpture, though).

I like the fish one best too

Love them all

me too...

Are you thinking of selling them, Nik?

Wouldn't even know what to ask for them until I can discover their maker and do some research.

I've a habit of hoarding items I know nothing about, often for years, on the off-chance that I'll eventually stumble on some info. Then I become instantly bored of them and sell them on.

I think a £1 each would be fair

If we're forming an orderly queue, would you give me first dibs - once you have a price - on the piece on the right - the one with the screaming nude?

Oy...B*****r off Ant....me first dibs...and i'm older-i could be gone soon...you'll get them in my will

I'm reaching for an ether-soaked rag and a mallet as we speak...

Yep

Split them

I would go for the naked man but it's not, er, big enough.
