Höganäs Keramik has a long-standing tradition in Swedish stoneware, combining functional forms with nuanced and experimental glazes. In the 1970s, serial forms such as lidded jars were often used as a basis for variation in glaze and surface treatment, giving each piece an individual character and making them appealing to collectors of Nordic studio ceramics.
