I recently came apon a pottery bowl from Norway that my great grandparents must have brought over when they came to Canada. On the front, Helsing-Fra Telemark is carved into it. I was woundering if anyone was familier with this, or knew what Helsing-Fra was or where is it.
On the back its says terra 24 or 2y (cant make it out) Norway.
Thank you
