PRETTY FLAMINGO


An avid collector of Scandinavian design I have in the past tended to concentrate on Swedish and Danish pieces but as the nicer pieces are getting harder to find I am being drawn more towards Norwegian design and particularly their ceramics. I have always picked up pieces of Stavangerflint without knowing too much about it, but I recently bought some of their beautiful ceramics designed by Inger Waage from a collector in England. The design is Flamingo 1950s, the bright colours and organic illustrations typify the Scandinavian design around in the mid 20th century. I will be giving them their first outing on Sunday week (31st) at the Dublin Flea.
