Stavangerflint













After I posted about the Danish pottery Nymølle, Erik of Books At Home sent me an email about Stavangerflint, a Norwegian pottery. He found the last plate, above, for $1 (!) at a thrift store.

Here is a brief history of the company and the artist and designer Inger Waage, with lots of pictures.

And - Helen Levitt died last night.

I love the plate with the busy cityscape!
I didn't realize about Helen Levitt. Sad.
