Porsgrunds Porselensfabrikk is Norway's only remaining porcelain manufacturer, and the factory outlet here is a genuine destination for those interested in Scandinavian design and craft. You can buy slightly irregular or discontinued pieces at significant discounts alongside the current range, and the attached factory museum traces the history of Norwegian porcelain with beautiful examples of the traditional blue-and-white onion pattern and other classic designs.
The factory has been operating continuously since 1885, making it one of the oldest surviving manufacturing operations in Norway. Guided factory tours show the production process from raw clay to finished tableware. Even if you do not purchase anything, the museum section alone is worth an hour.
