Ceramics (and more) of Scandinavia

Sunday, May 8, 2011

There is something about the design on this bowl that reminds me of a Ukrainian egg, even though it is all black and white.

Today is Mother's Day in the US, and I've made a banana cream pie for dessert with my parents.

Norseman: Minnesota, United States; Despite growing up in the US, my youth had a very Norwegian slant to it. I was surrounded by these quirky midcentury ceramic designs from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland -- Stavangerflint, Figgjo, Porsgrund, Bing & Grøndahl -- and took them all for granted. And not just pottery - bits of Scandinavia cropped up everywhere, from teak to pewter. This is where I'd like to share them.
