"Søholm was founded in 1835, in Rønne, Bornholm, by Herman Sonne Wolffsen (1811-1887) and Edvard Christian Sonne, making it one of the oldest ceramic factories on Bornholm, until its closure in 1996. The name, Søholm, comes from the factory where the two founders were employed, a pottery near Copenhagen, in 1828-1839 (rented in 1834). In the mid-20th century, Søholm produced a wide range of stoneware in various patterns and shapes. At the same time, the Danish ceramic artist Einar Johansen was employed by Søholm. He designed and created a wide range of stoneware, where his "blue series" is today highly sought after by collectors."
