Hello
I'm quite sure that this is made by Theodor Olsens Eftf. The pattern looks like 1920.
Magnus Aase bought Th.Olsen in 1904 (with his brother) an as fare as I know he then used after M.Aa in his shop.
NM (norsk mønster - norwegian pattern) I don't think it was used before 1915.

It could be Gustav Hellstrøm in Stavanger (1868-1957) and I think 1935 - 1950
