Fish from Norway. With Clupea by Turi

















I think the fish on these cups are Herring.

This wonderfully drawn design features simplified fish illustrations in blues and greens. They are part of a range by Figgio Flint, Norway known as Clupea and were produced in the 1960s. The design is by Turi Gramstadt Oliver. The matching saucer is a square shape which is a nice touch.

    Look after those gems well - they cost a small fortune around here these days!

    Will do Janne. I'm not surprised they're so highly valued by collectors – they're so nicely designed.
