This was given to me by a friend many years ago.
It's a fantastic piece, about 2 3/4 inches in diameter,
wonderful coarse texture,
a signature, the first part of which didn't fit,....il nome!
Maybe someone recognizes the piece and knows the maker?
Thanks for stopping by,
Tony.

VERY cool Budek !!
Designed by Kaarina Aho (1925 - 1990) who worked for Arabia from 1946-1962.
What a fabulous little find Budek!
Congratulations!
Perhaps even her name has echoes of the owl call?

BratJdd,
Thanks for brightening up the night.
Have a great week-end,

Dear V,
I hear the call of the owl in her name. Thanks for tracking it down, it's great to finally know whooooooooo.
Goodnight,
and Thank You again,
Tony.
The Finnish have a lot of interesting things they keep around for good luck. I think the owl might be one of them. Very cool, mich
Hi Tony,
I own one of this little AHO owl myself.
This is one (and only one) of the many owls (varies in sizes & styles) that AHO made.
Mine is 2" tall and I got it around $100 USD, but I say it should worth $50-70.
The prize will skyrocket among collectors, so I've seen cases where one of them, measured around 5", got to around $200 USD.
Sincerely,
Here are some of the bidding histories of AHO owls on Ebay: (sorry I cannot post http links)

Hi Mr. Budek,
I wonder if you still check your "uncleuncle" email.
I sent you an email regard to the AHO owl several days ago.
Sincerely,
Sean
I am wondering if it is a Vesper not knowing if their is any holes to thr top of it, The only problem. Other than that the ony other thing I can come up with is it a paper weight,
What a lovely owl !!
Thanks for all of the looks, loves, and kind comments!
