About the ceramists and the brand
John Andersson (1899–1969): Renowned for his contributions to 20th-century Swedish ceramic design, Andersson was one of the leading designers at the Höganäs factory during the 1940s–1960s. His work, characterized by elegant forms and innovative techniques, is featured in the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
Alfred Johansson: Although less documented than his colleague, Johansson collaborated closely with Andersson in creating distinctive pieces for Höganäs Keramik, bringing his craftsmanship and artistic vision to bear to produce works of remarkable quality and design.
Höganäs Keramik: Founded in 1909 as the Andersson & Johansson Pottery Factory, the company was established in Höganäs, Sweden. Over the years, it became a leading Scandinavian ceramics company, known for its exceptional craftsmanship and functional designs. In the 1950s, the company launched the "Old Höganäs" series, inspired by 19th-century yellow earthenware, which became a bestseller. The factory continued production until 2008, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of ceramic design.
