Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to the board, and so pleased to have found you. I am a big fan of Scandinavian pottery, as my grandparents are from Norway and Sweden. I recently inherited some serving pieces from the Figgjo Flint Victoria Design and I sadly have neither the room for them, nor can I use them. As such, I'm looking to sell them, but have no clue as to their value. Anyone know about Victoria design? I have a large platter, medium platter, coffee pot, tea pot, water jug, creamer and sugar. I've looked and looked online, but really can't find out a lot about it. I have a couple of pics here:

Any info about it would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the board. :) Your Figgjo Flint pieces are simply fabulous! I've not seen this pattern before, but some searching seems to indicate that it's not a commonly seen pattern so we're probably not much help with values. I think I read somewhere that the pattern was designed by Turi Gramstadt-Oliver.
It's worth having a look at Pip's Trip here: http://www.pips-trip.co.uk/subprod/egersund-figgio-flint-stavangerflint-arabia-0002200.aspx as Pip has some Figgjo Flint pieces listed for sale so that might give you an idea of approximate values, although she doesn't have the Victoria pattern listed.

It?s right with the designer Turi Gramstad-Oliver, and here is a lot more of herself and many other things she have made:
