Stavangerflint pottery

I have recently bought a couple of small pieces of Stavangerflint and I realised that I have a mini collection of these small pots and dishes.

I bought the spoon rest for 20p after finding it at the bottom of a box of old saucepans at a car boot sale.

Here are some photos..

Scandinavian ceramics

Despite very wet conditions I had a pretty successful visit to the Malvern flea fair over Easter and bought these three nice pieces of Scandinavian pottery.

Rorstrand 'Eden' butter dish, designed by Marianne Westman

Stavangerflint cup designed by Kari Nyquist

Stavangerflint trinket box designed by Inger Waage

Rye pottery planter

Here is a photo of a lovely Rye pottery planter which I bought at the Malvern flea fair last month. Its a deep cornflower blue colour with sgraffito style decoration. I think it dates from the 1950s. This is one I will be keeping for my own collection.

Just visible in the background is one of my other favourites, a large oblong plate made by Stavangerflint of Norway with a design by Inger Waage, from her 'opaque' range.

Norwegian ceramics

I have been doing some buying on ebay as well as selling recently and am very pleased with two new additions to my collection of Scandinavian ceramics.

The first is this unusual fish trivet or wall hanging. I love the design of fishes and stars and the blue and white together is really bright and fresh looking..

It was made by Porsgrund of Norway and is the only piece of Porsgrund in my collection.

 

This is the other item, it's a nice Stavangerflint casserole dish with a design of fishes and lemons by Inger Waage.
