Nymolle Viking Invaders Dish

Another in the series of Viking invader dishes by Nymolle Art Faience of Denmark.  The artist is Paul Høyrup.

Viking Invaders

At first glance, this looks like a nice scene of some farmers with Viking ships in the distance, but then you notice the people at the beach fleeing in terror.  I love this little dish.  It's part of a set, so now I have another collecting goal.

The pottery company is Nymolle Art Faience of Denmark, and the designer is Paul Høyrup.

Louise

This plate was a recent antique store bargain ($3!).  I knew very little about it, but at that price I had to take it home.  The plate was produced by Nymolle of Denmark, and the design by Danish artist Bjørn Wiinblad features a woman (Louise) and her two cats.  I love this stylized drawing that just screams "Scandinavian pottery" to me, with so many little details like the flowers on her hat and on the ground.

The back is marked Nymolle, Denmark, the name of the design - Louise, and the artist's signature.  The artist signature is also on the front of the plate.
