I found a set of 3 metal figurines of Japanese ladies in a house I purchased. Each figurine is between 8.5 to 9 inches tall, appears to be bronze and weigh about 2 lbs each. There is no marking to distinguish the maker. Not sure if there are worth anything, so any advice is appreciated.

Eduard Wiiralt (March 20, 1898, Russia – January 8, 1954, Paris) was an Estonian artist.[1]
Eduard Wiiralt was born near St. Petersburg as the son of Estonian parents who worked on a Russian country estate. In 1909 the family moved to Estonia and lived in Tallinn during World War I, where the young artist was educated at the Tallinn Arts and Crafts school.
After finishing school in 1919, he continued his studies at the Pallas art school in Tartu under Anton Starkopf. His first woodcuts and linocuts date back to 1916. He made his first etchings in 1917. During 1922–1923 Wiiralt attended the Dresden Academy of Art in Germany, under professor Selmar Werner. Wiiralt returned to Tartu in the autumn of 1923. During this period he concentrated mostly on book illustrations.
He lived in Paris from 1925 to 1939. After that he spent some years in Estonia, but moved permanently to France in 1946. He died there at the age of 55 and was buried at the Père Lachaise Cemetery.
In Paris he created his best-known works: "Hell" (1930–1932), "Cabaret" (1931), "The Preacher" (1932), "Heads of Negroes" (1933), and "Claude" (1936).
this is an old wooden pot or bucket that has some designs cut into it. It looks to me to have a lot of age to it. I'm just wondering who might have made it and when and what it was for. Thank you.
This is a small limited edition print signed G Feyock, whom I believe to be Grace Feyock. She did some work like this before switching careers and now designs artistic furniture. I believe this is number 1 of 1800. I was hoping to find an estimate as to worth.
