Id please? Wiinblad
Hello! These are, in my opinion, Wiinblad vases. Wiinblad designed these for Rosenthal. However, you mention that they might be fiberglass or wood. Rosenthal manufactured them in porcelain. Are there any markings on the bottom of the vases? Could they be prototypes or knock offs?

If they are
not porcelain, then maybe they are the molds.

thank you!
they are *definitely* not porcelain. I believe the bodies are made of wood, and the faces are made of fiberglass. the left head is damaged on the top, and it looks like fiberglass to me. I can't imagine that they are the molds themselves (as only the head is hollow, and it's not detailed on the inside)... but maybe they were made to be used to make the mold?
has anyone seen anything like these? also, if you could tell me who manufactured the porcelain vases, that would be helpful (perhaps I can contact the manufacturer and track these down that way). found these in a thrift store in the northeast US. no *idea* how they ended up there!
again, thank you!

I have contacted rosenthal to see whether they might help identify these. I'll try to post a photo of the bottom of these, but I haven't found any signature on these.
