Danish Cat
I don't know anything about this, other than it is from Denmark and I thought it was cute on eBay. It's also tiny - about 3.5 inches tall and very thin. The bottom is marked "Denmark" and also has an "O" with a line through it.

Telemark Vase
Update: Thanks to a reader comment, I now know that the maker was Brødrene Vaaten (the Vaaten Brothers), and the mark on the bottom is actually Br. V.
This is a recent eBay find. I'm not sure who made it, but the marks on the base are similar to the Terra pieces that I have, but I don't know what "BIV" means, or if that's what it says.

Another mystery piece with markings similar to the Elle pottery pieces, this is a small square bowl on a pedestal base.

New Mystery Vase
I found this small vase yesterday, and a new mystery developed. The style and clay color are very similar to my other Elle studio pieces, including my two previous posts, but the bottom is only marked with "Hand Made in Norway" and the shape/design numbers. The same antique store had a mug with similar glaze techniques and red clay, also with "Hand Made in Norway" and a shape/design number on the bottom, but it had a sticker for the Graverens pottery factory in Sandnes, Norway. So now I have to say I don't know who made this! Perhaps the same artist, but working at different studios - or this is just a typical style of the time and place. It's frustrating that there seems to be a lack of online information on these Norwegian studios.
I found the goat runner fabric at a local Scandinavian wholesaler's warehouse sale.
