Hey everyone,

Thanks again for all the replies. Bad news unfortunately.  We sent the photos to a major auction house. They directed the photos to 2 greek etruschian experts who enhanced and reviewed the photos and both agree that they are "Grand tour" souvenirs made in the late 19th early 20th century (replicas of the suggested greek pieces many mentioned) and they are of no value. The auction house has no interest in them. 

Thanks again for all the replies.

Well, sorry they couldn`t have been earlier pieces but better to have checked and know rather than have sold them and found out they were much more valuable !! Even if they are grand tour items they are antique and still good pieces !! So don`t give them away !!  There are collectors that love them and so do decorators !! So price them accordingly if you sell them !!
