    Daga Design Studio was established by Maigon Daga in 1954, just a few years after arriving in Adelaide S.Australia, as a refugee from Latvia. Daga and his family relocated to America in 1964 where he continued producing ceramics from his home. In 1970, Daga opened his studio in Minneapolis where it remains to this day.In 1980 Daga began sculpting and producing the animal forms for which he has become widely known. Maybe your piece is a different Daga.

    No. 8 from the top is definitely not a French Art Nouveau Vase, but a product from the Zsolnay factory, Pécs, Hungary.

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me to identify the maker of this approximately 19″ hand thrown ceramic vase. It is heavily incised with sfraffito. The them is Africa…natives, elephants, monkeys, etc. very well done. A small impressed square mark on the bottom. Seems to be two words, the first beginning with the letter “D”. There is also an incised number “34” on the underside. I don’t know if this might be a date.i can include images. Sincerely, Don
