Egersund (Norway)
The factory closed down in 1979 (burnt down?) and there is lots of information here, in Norwegian unfortunately, but there are some piccies http://museumsnett.no/dalmus/,

Re: Egersund (Norway)
Last weekend, raining, coming down with 'flu, at the local boot sale I picked up and put down again a small Jersey pottery cat thereby saving £1.50. By the time I had woken up/come to my senses it had gone.
Bruised legs from kicking myself all week only just carried me to a local charity shop on the following rainy Saturday where I made my acquaintance with this little gem although I didn't realise how gem like it was until I got home and googled. The extra 50p was worth it I think.

Jakob Sømme commonly referred to as the puffin jug/pitcher. It is actually a razorbill. How tall is it as it is difficult to tell from the picture.
I have one 11.5 cm high haggled from £2 to £1 on a car boot sale

Did you know it was rare when you haggled?

Is that the "faux embarrassment" icon that you've inserted there? Where can I find it because I can use that a lot.
I didn't realise that there were 6 of these jugs made, in graduated sizes, in the set.
Mine is just 10 cms tall, so I can see that yours is taller but I don't know where that would put them in relation to the whole set. Do you know how tall the biggest one is?

Wouldn't it have been amazing to have been a part of a puffin shaped tea service instead!!!!
