Marianne Westman

Marianne Westman (1928-2017) was a Swedish ceramic artist and textile designer who did a long career at the Swedish porcelain factory Rörstrand. Born in Falun, Sweden, Westman studied ceramic design at Stockholm’s Kostfack University College, and started her collaboration with Rörstrand already at the age of 22. Her debut was the Mon Amie tableware collection, which was released in 1952. Westman continued to work with Rörstrand until 1971, and many of her designs are today considered timeless classics of Swedish porcelain design.
