Title: Forgotten who made this stoneware viking dish & can't make out marks...

Its been a couple of years since this little dish saw the light of day.  In the meantime I've lost the sticker on which I had the name of the maker.  Added to that, I can't make out the markings, so they're no help and don't ring any bells.  What I do remember is that it was a Scandinavian maker.  Can anyone help please?
TIA :)

Thanks Tony and Sue :).  I've tried rubbing talc in and it doesn't make it any clearer because the impression is not deep.  Took loads of pics to get the mark and its the best one.  I'm 99% sure it was Scandi.  That'll teach me to not label the pic. in my gallery :hb: 

I'm not sure if there's a double 'l' in the middle, and may be an 'r' at the end in the word at the top, and may be a letter 'E' at the beginning of the one underneath, ending with 'j a'  ???

Hopefully someone will recognise it.  :x-fingers:
