Drawing of motifs. http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-6919

Does anyone know anything about these small green glasses please.  Only 2" high with stylised raised motifs showing male and female forms, animals and plants.  They sit on three small balls which are part of the male figure on the base i.e. the head, end of tail and foot (see drawing above for clearer pictures of motifs).

The only designers I can think of using stylised motifs are Erik Hoglund, John Hall and Kjell Blomberg, but there must be loads more.  They were bought along with a few pieces of Tapio Wirkkala glasses, so I'm just guessing that they are Scandi.

Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA ;)
