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.
