Höganäs Saltglaserat

Birthplace of Sweden’s national ceramics brand. Watch traditional handmade salt-glazed pottery being made at the old kiln works and pick up discounted pieces.

Höganäs became known as Sweden’s ceramics town thanks to 19th-century coal mining and clay extraction. “Höganäs Keramik” is a tableware brand found in almost every Swedish home. Höganäs Saltglaserat keeps alive the traditional handmade salt-glazing craft. Visitors can tour the workshop to watch clay being thrown and fired, and the shop sells brown salt-glazed jars and tableware. Nearby, the Höganäs Keramik factory outlet and the Höganäs Museum are also worth a visit. It is about 30 minutes from Helsingborg by train or bus, making it an easy stop on the way to Kullaberg.
