Featured Norwegian? Studio Pottery? Kentworld, pls look. Thx

Got this little (2" tall, about 3 1/4" across at the widest point) "pot" for a buck at an estate sale this morning. MCM house, but I didn't see anything else "Scandinavian" in the place. I bought it for its aesthetic and colors. Can anyone read the names on the bottom? Looks like ...dinblad or dinblud on the first line and Hjelmgn'st on the second line, neither of which has gotten me anywhere, except that there is a place in Norway called Hjelmland.

 

I think I had the magic Google fingers. Try this: Ulla Winblad Hjelmqvist

 

Ahhhhhhhh.

 

Right you are! And it makes a whole lot of sense that she lived here! Of course the first thing that came up was her lengthy obit from 1992. I think I did okay for a buck!

So pretty.

 

Although this thread is a little old, I had not been back to look at it since Bakersgma posted the obituary link. Very interesting! And the pot is nice, too.
