Figgjo Fajanse AS Plaque

This just arrived from Tokyo via eBay - always a relief when something arrives in one piece after a long journey!  I love sign pieces that have the company name as the main decoration instead of just being the mark on the back.

Mons og Mille

There's a perfectly sized bit of wall in the kitchen where our Figgjo Flint Mons go Mille plaques go.  Designed by Turi Gramstad Oliver.

Figgjo Flint Lotte

We found these two plaques a few weekends ago at a local antique store.  They are designed by Turi Gramstad Oliver for Figgjo Flint, and the pattern is Lotte.

Figgjo Flint Huset Plaque

This is the Huset pattern, another fun Figgjo Flint pattern by Turi Gramstad Oliver.

Konrad Galaaen Wall Hanging

This big Konrad Galaaen wall plaque was a recent eBay purchase that we finally received from Germany this week (it took a month to get here) - and it arrived unbroken!  After looking at it closer we noticed that the porcelain is actually two pieces - there is a seam right above the blue block with the black circle.  The front of the board has K. Galaaen, but unlike our other Princess plaque, this one is unmarked on the back.

 

Figgjo Flint Utfart Plaque

Figgjo Flint Large Norge Plaque

The Norge design by Figgjo Flint is new to me.  The colors are more subdued than the Saga and Mons og Milles designs, and I'm not sure who the artist was.

Dining Room

On the plate rail - the Figgjo Saga plaque and two Stavangerflint Per Spelmann trivets.

Lisa Larson Viking Ship Plaque

This is a unique commemorative Viking ship plaque was produced by Gustavsberg in the late 1960s/early 1970s and created by Lisa Larson.  The top of the sail has "Handelsflottans Välfärdsråd" stamped in the clay, which roughly translates to "Merchant Navy Welfare Board."  The back has a sticker with the same text, the incised "Lisa L Gustavsberg" stamp, and a hand-written note: "Idrottsveckan för sjöfolk i Lissabon," which roughly translates to "Sports Week for Seafarers in Lisbon," with the dates April 12 - April 18, 1970.

FIggjo Flint Saga Plaque

There is a larger version of this plaque that includes this scene, but they're walking behind another scene of a bride and groom on a horse and a fiddle player.  This plaque is made like an inverted tray, with two hanging holes at the top, and the back is marked with the Figgjo Saga logos.

Konrad Galaaen Princess

This large Porsgrund plaque, designed by Konrad Galaaen, consists of a flat porcelain figure mounted on a wooden board.  It was probably produced sometime between the late 1960s and the early 70s.  The back has a stamp of the Porsgrund anchor logo with the two Ps, "Porsgrund," and "Norway."

Mons og Mille

One recent eBay find was a set of six Mons og Mille trivet plaques by Figgjo Flint of Norway, designed by Turi Gramstad Oliver.  Here are two of them.  I tried an online translator for Mons og Mille (although I knew "og" meant "and") - and it means Mons and Mille.  So there you go.

The backs all have the identical mark.  I like that even the marks on the back look like they were designed by Turi.
