Soon they became one of Denmark’s leading manufacturers of modern ceramics both in household goods and art and design pottery. By the 1930’s Michael Andersen and Sons of Ronne on the island of Bornholm was headed by brothers Daniel and Michael who developed the company immensely and contributed to their world-wide success .
