Figgjo Flint 'Lotte' Pattern Small Cup or Vase

This item is a small ceramic vessel, likely a handleless juice cup, egg cup, or small decorative vase, featuring the iconic 'Lotte' pattern designed by Turi Gramstad Oliver for Figgjo Flint of Norway. The piece is constructed from high-quality white vitreous china or flintware with a smooth, glossy glaze. It features a tapered cylindrical body. The exterior is decorated with a charming, hand-sketched style silkscreen print in a vibrant teal or forest green color. The scene depicts a whimsical Scandinavian coastal village with multi-story buildings, a church on a hill, evergreen trees, a horse-drawn carriage, and sailboats in a harbor with a lighthouse. The illustration is continuous around the circumference of the vessel. Stylistically, this piece dates to the mid-century modern era, specifically from the 1960s or early 1970s. The craftsmanship is high, typical of Norwegian porcelain manufacturing of that period. Visible condition appears good with no obvious chips or cracks in the photograph, though there may be minor shelf wear on the unglazed base ring. The interior is a clean, matching white. This pattern is highly collectible due to its folk-art aesthetic and represents a classic example of Turi-design.
