Jani Ceramics 1949-1970

Jane Wåhlstedt, who during the period 1944-1949 had been employed at Laholm Keramik, chose to start her own production in 1949 under the name JanI Keramik together with her husband Nils Larsson. The name “JanI” is a combination of the initial letters of their respective first names.
Jani drew her inspiration from trips abroad and in 1951 she introduced the so-called Sgrafitti technique. Her penchant for strong colors, dark faces, and images from the plant kingdom recurred in ceramics. The production became very popular and was sold around the world. The business closed down in 1970. A total of 20 people worked at Jani Keramik over the years. (Source: Signature.se).
