Pauline Abbot and L'BO

Had these sculptures  for quite a few years now and previously owned by a friend (now deceased) who purchased them in the 70s
I have sold 1 but still have these left, the one I sold had P A on it as well and buyer told me it was Pam Annesouth but the other has me stumped L'BO
Cant upload a pic at present will though

Managed to get pics on as you can see they are NZ designed also have a morepork one, in a smaller size with PA on it.

Very nice suda!
One would think that they are made by the same person wouldn't they?
Pamela Annsouth does use a PA mark which looks like a stamp in the Marks Book.
If you could contact Pamela you may be able to find out the story behind these.

I have just emailed Pam. Hope she doesn't mind being pestered. Will let you know if I get an answer. 

Pamella Annsouth answered my email promptly but alas it is not her work and has no idea on the L'BO one either.
Back to the drawing board  

The work reminds me of Sue Akast's

but it's not her SUE mark and your ones look superior.

I am certain I have seen one of these before, and am racking my brain to try and remember where... sorry, not much help! I think we may have had a broken one come through the shop at one point, but may have see one online somewhere too...

You may be thinking of the one I sold on Trade me last year, cant remember which bird it was, they are quite delicate the Tui is the only one that isnt broken or repaired. Will keep searching, wish I'd had the fore-sight to ask Nola where she got them from.

I may have seen the one on TM, but one or two did come through the shop a while back, I quite clearly remember the tree fungi and the pale interior - they were quite damaged - as you say, very delicate items -  and went in our "free box"

Sorry I have no further info atm

This is by Pauline Abbott.

Thanks for that Jimbo, as that mark isn't in the Potters Marks book.

Hi suda, missrach is wanting some idea of a price for one of Pauline Abbot's pieces, perhaps you can help her.
