Rorstrand?

I was sold this miniature vase recently and told it was made by John Andersson at Rorstrand,can anyone confirm that this is the correct mark for a JA Rorstrand piece?

Hi. It is Höganäs Ceramic made by JA. Höganäs is located in Southern Sweden.

When you say it is Höganäs,do you mean it is from the town of that name or are you refering to a factory/pottery?
Thanks for your help

Hi Dan

Most likely Höganäs Keramik factory.
Andersson was known for his miniature vases.
He is the Andersson in in AJ Höganäs you see stamped on modern Höganäs "stengods".
Your signature looks like the genuine article... the H in Höganäs looks like an "A" and a "J". His miniatures are very sought after.

that's great news,the seller said they were Andersson miniatures but I wasn't sure (I knew they were miniatures)

thanks again for the info and welcome to the forum,I hope you become a regular visitor here.

I have looked further into the Höganäs background,it seems that Andersson produced pottery at his own studio plus the Andersson & Johansson company in Höganäs.
I would be interested in any information which would help me discover where exactly my Hoganas miniatures were made
