Stolt Margit

We finally found the last Stolt Margit plate that we need. The line was designed by Anne Lofthus for Stavangerflint.

Stavangerflint Barneserviset

We had Easter dinner at my cousin's house, and she showed me this children's dish set that my grandma gave to her as a baby.  It was designed by Anne Lofthus and came in (at least) two versions, one in Norwegian and one in English.  The stencil of my cousin's set has also been reversed, compared to the set that is pictured on this page (which is in Norwegian).

I love the Anne Lofthus designs for Stavangerflint that have a very traditional style but still with a mid-century feel.  This one has a proverb (ordtak) in Norwegian about plowing, fishing, and wind (I haven't quite figured out the translation yet).

Stavangerflint Plate

I think this was also designed by Anne Lofthus, based on the rosemaling and figure designs.

Stavangerflint Stolt Margit Plate No 6

The sixth plate in the Stolt Margit series.  Sadly we don't have 3 through 5... or beyond number 6 - does anyone know how many there are?

The second Stolt Margit plate.

I love the style of these Anne Lofthus designs for Stavangerflint.  The glaze has a less glossy, almost creamy feel, and the rosemaling design is very nice.   She was at Stavangerflint from 1959 to 1963, and the Stolt Margit series has at least six parts - I have plates 1, 2, and 6, although they are different sizes.  This is plate 1.
