Nya Syco (Sweden)

I have had this for some time. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

Thanks for looking.

It looks like a souvenir plate from the rock carvings at Tanum in Sweden

A quick Google suggest Nya Syco is the name of the pottery. I don't speak Swedish though ...

Thanks very much for the info

For those of you that can understand Swedish or google-translate see this link http://www.signaturer.se/Porslin/Lankar/syco.htm. The series of Tanum rock carving was made around the time that the Tanum rockcarving-field made it to UNSECO world heritage list. I have antoher little nice bowl/ashtray.

I forgot the measurements of the bowl/ashtray, it´s ca 12,5 cm by 12,5 cm and ca 3cm in height. The centerbowl is ca 7,5 cm in diameter.

Thanks for the response, chrille. Are they 1960s then, do you think?

The Tanum series was made in the late 60s when the rockcarving fields was nominated to the first UNESCO list that later became the worldhertiage list. Syco was founded in 1945, went bankrupt in 1961 and it´s sucessor Nya Syco met the same end in 1969 due to lack of finacial strenght and problems with the building of a new factory. As a curiosity Syco also made some small series of childerns toys in various metals some time after 1949 probably inspired by Dinkytoys.

Thats really nice to know. I guess Nya means 'new' in English then?

I really love the plate I have - it somehow looks retro AND prehistoric at the same time.

Hi again Syco lovers!

A little example of economics perhaps, as the Nya(New) Syco started the managment used both old Syco labels and the company stamp ;-)

Ooops!
I forgot the measurements of the bail, it´s ca 7 cm in diameter and ca 8cm in height.
