It is in perfect condition and the price includes free shipping. It is 11cm (4.33") high and 12cm (4.72") in diameter. Michael Andersen and Sons Pottery known as (MAS), Bornholm Denmark. Michael Andersen & Sons was founded in the 1880s (from an earlier 18th Century Pottery) on the island of Bornholm, Denmark – one of the major centres of Danish pottery production during the 19th and 20th Centuries. Jens Michael Andersen (1859-1931) founded Michael Andersen & Sons in 1890 out of an existing pottery that had been founded in 1771 in the town of Rønne on the island of Bornholm. The company's reputation is speaks of their production as typically of excellent quality both in terms of manufacture and design. The company is still producing today, having been taken over by the artist Solveig Ussing in 1993. Jens Michael Andersen who was the founder, had trained at the local Hjorth pottery. His 4 sons worked in the pottery, and one son, Daniel (1885-1959) developed the iconic “Persia” glaze in 1935, which won an international award. The Persia glaze went on to be used on many designs well into the 1960s. It is the “Art Pottery” of the 1950s -1970s which MAS are now best known for worldwide, but also some of the Art Deco style designs from the 1930s – although these are harder to find in excellent condition. Michael Andersen & Sons has made many Lamps with Persia Glaze – Often with a simple blue pattern on the Persia glaze to show it of to best effect – highlighting the lovely mother-of-pearl crackle of the glaze, which is now one of the trademarks for their company. The company recruited many talented artists such as Marianne Starck, originally from Germany, was one of the top Ceramicists who contributed to the success of Michael Andersen & Sons Pottery in the mid 20th Century. She started with the Factory as Artistic Director in 1955 and remained until its closure in 1993, designing many iconic series, Marianne’s work is usually inscribed with the initials M.S. Since 1930 items from MAS have usually been marked with the three fish stamp in various designs. Sometimes it is a simple label, other times just an impressed mark of 3 herrings. The 3 herring mark is also the official seal of the town of Ronne, where the factory was located. The M.A.S. pottery was partly resurrected by ceramicist Solveig Ussing, and it operates currently from a small workshop in Ronne, where some of the original MAS molds are still used. The pottery made by this company holds world class and is very sought after by retro and vintage enthusiasts worldwide.
