Andersson & Johansson (Höganäs Keramik) Mid-Century Vase

Vase by Andersson & Johansson
Design/decor by Mette Doller
Höganäs, Sweden
Made between 1953 and 1955
7.5 inches tall

Over the last few years I finally got around to exploring Scandinavian ceramics with some zeal. This is my first Swedish piece and I couldn't be happier with it. The person that sold it to me attributes it master thrower Gunnar Borg because there is a GB stamp among the markings. However, my research leads me to conclude that Mette Doller designed and decorated it and Borg probably didn't throw it. I welcome any corrections to this conclusion.

It has the company mark that was in use between 1920 and 1958 and the model number 900. You may find history about the company and Mette Doller at the following web addresses: http://www.signaturer.se/Sverige/hoganasbolaget.htm & http://www.signaturer.se/Sverige/MetteDoller.htm
