Vintage J. F. Belarti blue glazed figures

[Stuka f]

An (probably!) Belgian artist, that little is know off...

Not even sure of the gender of the artist, but works of his/her hand are very much sought after.

Strangely enough I like these very much. Naive style but, certain charm and humour in their appearance.

Stuka, would these sell on market stalls or, in showrooms. What would be a rough valuation ?

It would be nice if we could enlarge on this series - does anyone else have any examples ? Mervyn

Hey Mervyn,

I like them too. And something made me pick them out of a house clearing a friend of me was doing. The problem is I can't lay the finger on the reason of my choice!

Sadly the women figure suffered some damage.

I have been told they do well on auctions, but can't find any results.

Apparently during my search on the internet, I only come by other people also looking for information regarding the artist.

Any help is appreciated.

cheers

There must be a ceramics museum - drop them a picture and see what they say. Personally, if I were you, I

would be searching them out and buying every one I could find. Curiosities like these have a habit of becoming

very valuable. Nice post - thankyou. Mervyn
