Small bowl of possible Norwegian origin?

Post by studiolucca »

This bowl has passed through three family generations. The suspected origin is Norwegian, and after browsing the information on 925-1000 I would guess this may be correct, but would appreciate any further info on the maker's mark and possible year of origin. I enclose photos of the top and bottom of the bowl, and the markings.

Looks to me like an early version of the Albert Scharning mark.

Hmmm, interesting info that Albert Scharning would have marked A.S. .His usual mark is either A.SCH or A,Sch.. In addition, the style is not quite Scharning either. I doubt a bit that it would be Scharning. Unfortunately I have nothing better to present.

Yup - couldn't find anything on an A.S. mark --> only the A.Sch variations.
Agreed too about not quite the style --> unless some of his early work did look "voluptuous", but all I could dig out was very stylish and simple lines mostly combined with various enamel techniques.
Thanks for the input nevertheless: so often a good gut feel points the right way.
