HOW I MADE MONEY FROM BITS & BOBS OF OLD CHINA .....more

Hi Elisabet

This is a completely unknown mark to me and is not shown in any of my reference books, so let's hope someone else knows this mark.

I look at quite a lot of china and, without pretending to be any kind of expert, all I can say is what I see.

The styling has a Scandinavian flavour to my eye. Both in the shape, the colours and the fish illustrations. You come from Iceland - which is, I think, classified as Scandinavian, isn't it? I think the design and quality of this dish is really very good and it looks very 1950's to me.

Do you have any way to go to a local library and research any Icelandic china manufacturers, after all the other mainland Scandinavian countries have a long tradition of fine porcelain and very excellent design traditions.
