L.Hjorts Terracotta Factory

Soeholm, Roenne on Bornholm (1835-1996).

Sohoelm is the oldest ceramic factory on Bornholm.
The factory was founded by Herman Sonne Wolffsen and Edvard Christian Sonne in 1835, but from 1841 Wolffsen took over by alone.
At the beginning the production was fience, yellowware, pots, bowls and dishes.
During the 2nd world war they produced pipes (for tobacco).
Today only very few of those pipes has survived.

Noomi Backhausen (1938-)

Maria Phillippi
Johannes Hedegaard (1915-)
Nana Ditzel ( 1923-)
Haico Nitzsche 1943-)
Per Rehfeldt (1951-)
among others
 
The Soeholm Stone Ware design is today a big collector's item for the retro devotees.
 
No marks at the beginning. From 1910 marked with a criwn and a ship. Most things only marked Soeholm. A few things marked H. Wolffsen & Son (abt. 1903-15)
 
Soeholm closed in 1996.
