Figgjo Flint is a Norwegian pottery company still producing today.
Our favourites of theirs are the folk art and landscape-inspired designs of the 1950s & 60s – ranges such as Lotte, Daisy, Sicilia and Market.

They incorporated mythical creatures, whimsical figures and stylised flowers.

The motifs were used to decorate tableware, kitchen equipment and decorative objects such as bowls and wall plaques.

what a beautiful garden, really interesting and inspiring ideas. Here's another idea for you i have found a wonderful outdoor clock hanging in my garden. It hangs on a bracket and you can see the clock face from two sides, really pretty an very useful as i tend to froget time when i am outside!

I was at an antique market the other day and saw an enameled tin bowl with a pattern around the outside edge featuring characters that look similar to those in the lotte pattern but they were brown and were sort of warrior/medieval characters. I didn't check the bottom (oops) so now I've been wondering – was it a figgjo pattern, or just something similar?
Hello! Did you ever find out much more about that yellow horse? Have recently acquired one and have no idea where it’s from !
No, we didn’t – something may turn up someday! 🙂
