norwegian "royal kongetinn" pewter
Please note that there is "Saga" and "Royal Kongetinn" and this entire set is "Royal Kongetinn".
This Norwegian "Royal Kongetinn" Pewter has a pattern that springs from events that took place in Norway almost 1,000 years ago. The Viking period was something more than an era of violence and barbaric customs. The Viking kings surrounded themselves with artists of various kinds, and it was a point of honor for the kings themselves to be able to handle a craftsman's tools.
The sagas tell us that "Olav the Holy" himself carved the dragon's head on one of his long ships. "Olav the Holy and his men" — the inspiration of this pattern — introduced Christianity to Norway. King Olav fought tirelessly for this cause, and gave his life for it at the battle of Stiklestad, the year 1030 A.D. He was later canonized, and churches were built to his memory in many parts of Europe.
"Royal" Pewter takes kindly to contact with all kinds of food, and it is non-toxic. This beautiful flatware is dishwasher safe.
This entire service was purchased by me in Europe and has been treasured in my care since. It is in excellent condition, meaning new looking, as it has only been used twice. All pages have photos of the items. They are beautiful.
To ensure this set is not broken into un-sellable items, I am selling everything as an entire set. You might not be able to find all the pieces on the internet, but this set is complete. You can go to each linked page to see the items, but to purchase, use the "KONGETINN INDEX" link above and come back to this page and use the "Add to Cart" button below.

To use PayPal or a Credit Card (via PayPal) and have this set shipped to you, I am only asking $499. That's a savings of $995. Use the "Add to Cart" button below which includes the shipping and handling to anywhere in the United States. By going to the above websites (for comparison) their shipping and handling is atrocious.
Note: I never make money on S/H. In fact, I usually lose money. So, if you wonder if I ship trashy, I don't. Everything I've ever shipped is packed extremely well, and nothing has ever been damaged. In fact I always get responses on how well the items were packed and that they ALWAYS take between 3 to 5 days to get to their destination.
