Annashaab Stoneware Factory was a Danish ceramics factory founded in 1891 by the potter Jens Holm Rasmussen and his wife Johanne in Egebjerg, near Horsens. The factory initially produced everyday ceramics such as jam jars and even pots for the local prison. Later, around the 1920s, the factory began producing decorative ceramics in the so-called "shoemaker style," which is the Danish variant of Art Nouveau. This shift in production was inspired by the artist Eiler Løndal, who had also worked for Danico, another well-known ceramics factory in the area.
Annashaab's products were often decorated with horn glaze and were characterised by simple yet elegant patterns in pastel colours. They were often opaque and resembled products from Kähler or Danico. The factory closed in 1958, but its ceramics are now sought after by collectors.
A distinctive feature of Annashaab's ceramics is the factory mark, which was a triangle symbolising "L" for stoneware factory. However, many of their products do not bear this mark, making it difficult to distinguish them from those of other factories, especially if they are not numbered.
