 wallenius item detail
Pattern description: This pattern consists of a nicely detailed belted logo containing the line's house flag. The three-band design of the belt is repeated on the china. This band, which girdles the cup at center, is inset approximately ½" from the rim on the saucer. Of interest will be that the logo on the cup measures over 1" in diameter, while that on the saucer measures 7/8".
Pattern notes: The Porsgrund backstamp appears on the saucer only. The cup bears the mark of what we believe is likely the distributor: Emil Olsen & Comp. of Oslo.
