Stavangerflint Snack Set

Four of these fantastic snack sets with Kåre Berven Fjeldsaa's Viking design on them. I haven't seen this peaceful, relaxed viking with a flower on any other pieces before, and also didn't know that they made a snack set in this pattern. We also have another snack set with the same plate and mug shapes, but a design by Anne Lofthus.

More Space

With an expanding collection comes the need for more space. We finally finished installing a shelf above the windows in our kitchen eating area, and hung the rest of the scando goat fabric as a valance. In addition to the Figgjo Saga pieces here, there is an old Stavangerflint pitcher with some peacock-like birds. Outside the photo are our Dansk teak ice buckets and some coffee sets from Figgjo, Dansk and Stavangerflint.

Stolt Margit

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

Stavangerflint by Inger Waage

This rectangular dish was designed by Inger Waage for Stavangerflint and is part of the Opaque series, also called the Inger series.  The design is matte, with the only glaze colors being black and blue.  The mark on the back of this one has a nice clear example of the mysterious date star around the Stavangerflint logo.

Stavangerflint Bowl

Getting my blogging mojo back with this sweet little Stavangerflint bowl with children playing in a hay wagon.  I don't know the pattern name or the artist, although I would guess it is Inger Waage and it looks like it was part of a children's line.

Stavangerflint Souvenir from Stavanger

Souvenir Stavanger plate made by Stavangerflint and designed by Kari Nyquist.

Stavangerflint Stavanger Dish

Souvenir dish from Stavanger, made by Stavangerflint. I'm not sure who the designer of this is, although I'm pretty sure it isn't Inger Waage.

Stavangerflint Inger Waage

A Stavangerflint plate with design by Inger Waage.  The lute-playing man is almost the identical silkscreen outline that is on the vase we have.

Stavangerflint Viking Vase

This three-sided vase was designed by Kåre Berven Fjeldsaa for Stavangerflint.  The base of this one is not marked.

Stavangerflint Norrøna

We got a set of Norrøna dishes for a steal recently, because you can never have too many dishes.  They were designed by Inger Waage.  Not all of them are marked on the bottom - the cups only say "Norway" and a shape number.

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).

Stavangerflint Trivet

This looks like Inger Waage to me.  It does seem to be getting harder to find non-souvenir pieces of Stavangerflint, like this.

Stavangerflint Anne Lofthus Håvamål Plate

Another large Stavangerflint plate by Anne Lofthus with text from the Håvamål.

Stavangerflint Anne Lofthus Plate

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).

Figgjo and Stavangerflint Flowers

Stavangerflint Minnesota Plate

A fun Inger Waage-designed plate highlighting some of the attractions around Minnesota - the capitol in St. Paul, Paul Bunyan, and the Split Rock Lighthouse.  I think the scene in the center is from the Soudan Underground Mine State Park in northern Minnesota, and the green statue is Leif Erikson in Duluth (I had to search for that on google - I had no idea what it was!).

Stavangerflint Inger Waage Vase

Stavangerflint Bergen Plate

The colors on this Stavangerflint plate are much brighter and more vibrant than most of the Inger Waage designs.

Stavangerflint København Plate

Unpacking some things that were packed away for Christmas.  This little Copenhagen souvenir plate by Inger Waage plate has to be Stavangerflint, but it doesn't have the logo on the back.

Stavangerflint Viking Plate

This is what we woke up to this morning: -14˚F/-26˚C.  It's bracing.
