Topic: Canadian Ceramics by an artist named Molla

[bandit74]

Hi there. I'm doing some research on behalf of my mother who has been collecting these little ceramic figures by an artist in Vancouver called Molla. The figures are generally small little woodland animals or mushrooms. We don't know too much about the artist other then she move to Vancouver at a young age and that she may have had a daughter.  Is there anyone on this board who may have some information on this artist? I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Are these what you mean?  I have never heard of them either -- so I am learning to right now.  Can you post some pictures for us of the items, and the marks? 

Thanks, and again Welcome.....you'll love it here

I have a pretty good collection of Mollas and found out that she started the pottery classes at the university in vancouver B.C. she also made these pieces for the Hudson Bay Co.
