A low plate by Anna-Lisa Thomson (1905 -1952) for Uppsala Ekeby. The impressed marks are ALT and UE. Uppsala Ekeby was founded in 1886 in Sweden as a company manufacturing bricks and tiles, but later branched out into art pottery. I really like Anna-Lisa's work. She did some highly unusual work for UE. Her life was cut tragically short.
