We found this dish at an antique store today. I googled the name and found that he is still working and has a shop in Sandnes. Can't wait to visit when I'm back in Norway!
I love the simple form and rich glazes. The circle motif on the outside caused little dimples on the inside, creating a nice pattern in the glaze.

I worked with Carl Olaf back in the early 70's in Sandnes. I continue to keep in contact with him. He is still active making pots. I was searching his name to see what he was up to & came across your post. Nice to see his work again.

Hello, and thanks for your comment! I came across this piece quite by chance and didn't know anything about him until I got home a googled his name. If you are in contact with him soon, let him know he has a fan here! I was in Sandnes briefly in the spring of 2010 - hopefully when I get back I can seek out his work and/or shop.
