Scandinavian design?

My trip to the Netherlands was great. The weather was unusually mild for the time of year, and I even got to go for long walks on the beach without a coat. Great to see family and friends. Nice to be back. I missed my garage sales and was ready to go last Friday! Here are the highlights of my finds.

Not Scandinavian but German. A men's choir with village church, houses and trees. I believe it's Erzgebirge. $4

We paid $15 each. Would love to know more about where they are from. They look Scandinavian to me.


Not Scandinavian but Dutch! A Sinterklaas (yes, Santaclaus) wooden cookie mold. $3

From Denmark: a Rosendahl corkscrew. $1

Ordered at Amazon. Happy with the Design and Chairs one. Not too impressed with the tools for living.

A bear's head of unknown heritage. First I though Skjode, but it has no marks. 

It cannot sit by itself, unless you put it on its side. It has no evidence of ever having been attached to something.


This is how it sits if it's not supported. Someone help me out! What IS it? $1

On my last day in Holland, I found this sugar bowl and creamer by Mosa (Maastricht, the Netherlands), at an antiques barn. It belongs to my mom's dinnerware set that I have and grew up with. Terrific find. 7.5 Euros.
