Does anyone know the name of this Figgjo pattern please? I've hunted hi and lo without success.
Thanks,

I'm getting quite good at this as for the second time I have been able to answer my own question. Found same items on Worthopedia home page. The pattern is called GRANADA and it's an Expresso cup as part of a Demitasse set. Innocent

Hi bid ed,
Yes, I can see what you mean. I have googled Figgjo Flint Granada with confusing results. Whether or not there are variations of this particular pattern is a new mystery. Or Worthpoint have it completly wrong as you have suggested they might Doh!

Worthpoint is not dissimilar to eBay and the information offered is as unreliable and totally unverified. Sadly, they have the same lack of disregard to copyright as eBay does and I've found photos and chunks of text stolen from my website on there.

Take information from *any* online auction/sales platform with a massive sack of salt.

Yes I think I agree. I know there is a book on Figgjo Flint and I just hope there is someone out there that has 1. When did the company cease to exist?

Hi,
Many Thanks for that info. I have written to them this morning to see if they can help with identifying this cup. Fingers crossed!
