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 ...

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.

Hello!
 
I have found a very nice coaster in mint condition including the leather strap to hang it up in the kitchen. The coaster is ca 210 mm in diameter and ca 320mm in length. A similar coaster and other nice Syco/Nya Syco articles can be found by this link:  http://www.digitaltmuseum.se/search?query=syco  I hope you will enjoy take look there.

Hello everyone!
 
First of all a correction regarding the Tanum rock carving series, they was from the late 50s!
 
As the the Nya Syco and Syco essentialy is the same Company with most of the old staff still employed I will show som Syco-stamped pottery in this forum too. I begin with a nice bowl signed by Joyous Schiöler.

Oops!

I forgot to give you the measures on the bowl, height is about 135mm and diameter is about 203mm/ Chrille

A nice vase but unfourtunally  not signed wich is a pity because the label tells us that it is hand thrown and hand painted and such labels were mostly on the studio pottery. Height is ca 190 mm, width at bottom ca 70 mm and at the top ca35 mm.

A very nice piggy bank in form of a hen has found its way home to my collection! I´m on the look for the rooster variant now and hopefully a signed one.   My hen is ca 160 mm in heigth, length ca 145 mm width ca 130 mm.

Hello!
 
Something fishy one could say about this teller in form of a cod, which is a quite appropiate form for Syco because the islet where the company had its location was namned the Cod Islet in Swedish.  Length is ca 215 mm, width is ca 130 mm and heigth ca 30 mm.

Ooops!
 
Sorry forgot the form number on the Syco fish-teller. It seems to be 906- but the glazing is a bit smudgy so its a bit of a guess.

Hello!
 
A nice triangular looking dish with form number 4071, length ca 131 mm, width ca 165 mm over the bowl and heigth ca 30 mm. As far as I have understood the dish is one part of a set.

A pretty little pot about 3 inches high

Hi!

A fine little bowl  marked HS-5 ca 5 cm in heigth, ca 7,5 cm at widest and ca 6 cm in bottom with a nice green glaze inside. Probably made during the turnover period from Syco to Nya Syco since it has a Syco label and Nya Syco stamp on the bottom.
