    Hello I would be very grateful if you could help me identify the maker of these two mid-century pottery birds please (one French one Belgian?). The lovely small, brown one has no mark on the base and I believe might be Jean Derval / Roger Capron. Only 10cm tall. The other I believe is Dour - as marked on the base, but I have searched and can't find anything else out about it. Thank you in advance. IMG_1449.jpg IMG_1436.jpg IMG_1437.jpg

    Even though the bottoms may not be marked, always show a photograph of the base because some makers can easily be identified by the base.

    Dour appears to be a city in Belgium. Looks like studio pottery to me...
