Title: Help id'ing Scandinvian Hobnail Bowl
Post by: shoplepage on July 24, 2013, 12:36:50 PM

Hello,
I recently found this nice hobnail bowl and was told that it is Scandinavian, do you guys think this is true? i bought it thinking that it was Fenton and later found that that was not the case. Anyone know the maker?  it is 3 3/4" tall and 7" diameter with a nice ground bottom.  thanks for the help

Looks like Nuutajärvi  / Saara Hopea / so called "Nyppyläkulho".... i.e hobnail bowl (in Finnish)
It was quite popular by the time so there are still quite a few available.
