Norwegian pottery marks

In Norwegian pottery marks, a studio seal is impressed into the clay, while a printed backstamp can combine the factory emblem and country.

Names, emblems and neighbouring codes

Look for a factory name, NORGE or NORWAY origin wording and any separate painter or pattern code. A studio seal is impressed into the clay, while a printed backstamp can combine the factory emblem and country.

What to check next

Copy the factory word before comparing a crown, anchor or initials. Preserve an impressed model number separately from the printed name; the same model may have several decorations.
