Featured Anyone Recognize these Figurines?

Sorry but I have only one photo. These are for sale in an on line auction and I've never seen them before. Described just as Terra Cotta figurines. I think the bear is something else. Of course, no measurements and no photos of the base or any marks. But they're so cute! Has anyone seen these before who could give me an idea of where to research? TIA!

 

The stoneware ones are Lisa Larson from the Lilla Zoo series. Not sure about the bear, though.

 

And also what looks like a bird on a tall post/stand?

 

Those are great. Lilla Zoo probably means Little Zoo? Very 1950s.

 

the bear is likely from the Pacific Northwest coast...but it's not !!!



more likely Ainu...Hokkaido...Japan

 

Thank you! Your responses are so appreciated. I think the bear is another figurine that the auction people snagged to round out the lot. I can't tell whether the bird is part of the bear or separate. They couldn't be bothered to move them once they were set down for the photos. It's so aggravating. All of these on line auctioneers still behave like everyone is in a room with them. No measurements / no marks is my biggest peeve with them. But sometimes I luck out and get a real nice group of items! Like these I hope.

 

Good luck, ola.

 

I'd definitely bid on those. From the one photo they seem to be in great condition. Maybe bring a small amount of packing material in case you win them. You don't want them rattling around. Another wish of Good luck!

 

I didn't buy these after all. The hammer price was a little over $200 then add 18.5% for buyers premium and local taxes. For resale that didn't leave much profit. Thanks for everyone's help. It was fun to learn about them in the event I ever see them in the future.
