Søholm, the oldest ceramic factory on Bornholm was founded by Herman Sonne Wolffsen and Edvard Christian Sonne in 1835. Søholm stoneware design has become a big collector’s item for retro devotees. The factory closed in 1996. Much of the pottery of Denmark matches the modernistic flare of the furniture they are so well known for. Sleek lines, innovative use of materials, and streamlined design are typical of the wares created and reflect the Danish modern style popularized in the 1950s and 1960s.
