Figgjo was founded by Harald Lima and Sigurd Figved in 1941 as a small-scale pottery workshop. In 1946, designer and ceramist Ragnar Grimsrud (1902-1988) became co-owner and general manager of Figgjo. Following World War II, Figgjo expanded into industrial manufacture of earthenware, building a new factory plant that was completed in 1947. In the 1950s, new decoration techniques for silkscreen printing of patterns and applying coloured slip to products made it easier to produce a large portfolio of popular and distinctive designs. From 1956 to 1964, Figgjo collaborated with noted Norwegian freelance designer Hermann Bongard, who produced a number of successful tableware products for the company. Other notable designers who worked for Figgjo include Turi Gramstad Oliver, Inger Waage, and Kåre Berven Fjeldsaa. Turi Gramstad Oliver started her career at Figgjo in 1960 and worked there for twenty years. She designed various services that became known as 'Turi design', such as 'Arden', 'Elvira', 'Market', 'Lotte', 'Tor Viking', 'Clúpea' and many other series representing lovely colourful figures in a naive painting style.

I am very happy to combine postage for multiple purchases - please contact me before paying for multiple items so that I can provide a revised invoice. I do not require immediate payment on Buy It Now listings. Ebay does not automatically calculate combined postage. I will do my best to save you some $$$! However, some items are just too big and fragile to be sent combined - please ask what options I can offer before bidding. Please request a combined invoice from me directly before paying, otherwise your items will be sent separately.  Please do not select Local Pickup to avoid paying postage costs if you wish to combine postage with another item already purchased - this will result in cancellation of your order.

Discounts are available for multiple purchases - PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BUYING.  Pickup is available from Wetherill Park, Sydney, NSW - cash or Paypal. I do not deliver.
