Oma erzählte mir, dass wir eine norwegische Familie hatten, die sie immer besuchte. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wo in Norwegen.
Sie und meine Mutter sind gestorben und ich gehe ihre Gedanken durch.
Sind das norwegische oder in China hergestellte Produkte?

The style of the plate saying Julaften 1971 is in a style similar to what my mother gave to my grandmother on mother’s day every year around the time, so it could well be legit Norwegian.
Not that I think it’s particularly rare or valuable, mind you, but something similar was at least sold in Norway at the time.
Looks Norwegian. Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik is a real company and there are no typos. I also found one of them on the website of a museum in Telemark county.

These were pretty popular in the 70-80s. Don’t think they’re worth much here.
Seems like there are a few identical plates for sale on FINN. Definitively not some kind of fake, they aren’t worth enough to bother faking and match a known series of collectors plates.

Check for high concentrations of lead and radioactive materials (paint usually). I shit you not. The ones from the 50s often have em.
Porsgrund Porselen (founded 1885) still exists as a company, but they don’t manufacture plates etc in Norway anymore.
In the 1970s, the plates were actually designed, manufactured and decorated at their factory in Porsgrunn, and were popular in Norway. Many people collected these plates. They came in new designs every year. The annual Christmas series of plates were typically never used as plates, but put up on a display shelf near the dinner table in the dining room (and not in the kitchen). It was a popular Christmas gift to buy one plate, for people who collected these.
In fact, these plates are still in production and the 2024 edition is now available: https://www.porsgrund.com/jul/juleplatter
Porsgrund Porselen is a well known (in Norway) and historic company, with several of their products represented in the Norwegian National Museum and other collections. One random example: https://www.nasjonalmuseet.no/samlingen/objekt/NMK.2004.0228.02
More, just from one of their designers, Nora Gulbrandsen: https://www.nasjonalmuseet.no/samlingen/produsent/57075/nora-gulbrandsen
Looks to be porsgrund porcelain, so norwegian unless the stamp is a forgery. Doubt it.
These are pretty common decorarive plates
Please tell me I’m not the only one who sees it?
The internet has ruined me…
Think I have the ’76 and ’77 somewhere
They are legit, but quite common. You get them at most thrift stores for around 30-40 NOK (a few dollars) per plate.
Were very popular in Minnesota. Grandmother collected them for important dates. (Swedish-American.)
