this is probably a wild goose chase....

...but I'm chasing it. In a thrift shop at a senior center I saw two pottery plates for hanging on the wall. They are very folksy with people in the images. The mark on the backside is an arrow with a wavy line wrapping it. The mark is about an inch long -- no writing. Not Swedish.

Just thought maybe someone would be familiar with the mark.

Not identical. This is a true arrow with barbed point. How kind of you to find this!

I think I will go back and take a picture to post here of both sides.
