Kråkerøy Vase


I stumbled on this sweet little vase on eBay.  The maker is Kråkerøy Keramikk, and it looks like a souvenir piece for Fredrikstad, Norway, although I don't know what the design is showing.  It has the original sticker and is marked on the bottom with KK.



The little heart looks like it might be an artist's signature.

Souvenir Sandnes Plates by Figgjo


My grandma brought these souvenir plates back from one of her trips to Norway, probably in the 1950s based on the mark on the back.  They each say "Greetings from Sandnes."  I think this is the first time I've seen a Figgjo Flint sticker, too.

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 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 Souvenir Plates


Three souvenir Stavangerflint plates we have hanging in our kitchen.  I was surprised when I found plates for nearby areas that were made in Norway!

The Door County, Wisconsin and Minnesota plates are by Inger Waage.  The Red Wing, Minnesota plate is by Kari Nyquist.
