Alike ancient Vikings pottery clay ceramics inspired by historical North and Norse Scandinavian pottery are presented in our store with different products including, mugs, plates, and products with Elder Futhark Runes. All these pottery products are part of the Viking theme and are great examples of Norse pottery created by Artglina Creative Pottery Studio. More likely you’ve heard of Rune Letters or Elder Futhark Runes. And probably you’ve heard of meanings like Valhalla, Berserk, or Drakkar. All those attributes and meanings are strongly associated with Vikings, Scandinavian sailors who came from tribes that inhabited the territory of such modern countries as Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and North Germany. In different countries, they were called differently: Vikings, Normans, and Varangians. The Vikings traveled and conquered in the 8th-13h centuries. It is a surprising fact that the Vikings, harsh in disposition, unpretentious in everyday life, and accustomed to difficult conditions, created a unique cultural tradition.
Elder Futhark Runes Letters Valhalla Ancient Viking Pottery Viking Ceramic
The glorious history of the Vikings became one of the ideas for the Vikings: Valhalla heaven, the place where warriors get after death in battle. This is a story about the Vikings attempt to conquer England, the journey of the Scandinavian navigator and ruler of Greenland Leif Eriksson to America, and a dramatic story of love, enmity, and revenge against the backdrop of the spread of Christianity among the Vikings.
The Viking archetype is part of the history of the Ukrainian people. It was with the arrival of the Vikings that Kyiv stopped paying tribute to the Khazars and, after a successful campaign against Constantinople, signed an agreement with Byzantium. It can be considered the beginning of the statehood of Rus-Ukraine, as a foreign policy emerged and the principality expanded its influence to the rest of the surrounding lands.
Thus, the history of the Vikings is a real inspiration for artists of various genres of art. In Artglina studio, this inspiration was realized in North Viking pottery.
The Viking Norse pottery ceramics collection by Artglina is a symbol of power, strength of spirit, and endurance. Incredibly harmonious in colors and shades, with smooth internal glazing, exclusive exterior decoration, and exquisite ornamentation, the handmade mugs, bowls, and Elder Futhark rune letters from the Viking ceramics collection have an exceptionally authentic design.
For example, the handmade Vegvisir mug from the Vikings collection has a unique engraving – Vegvisir with complete Elder Futhark letters in a round. According to many legends, this symbol was almost always written on Viking ships to ensure their future return home.
