About the Item

This is the 1920s Danish 35 cm high ceramic vase with a Ø of 20 cm by Herman Kähler. This vase comes with a high, baluster shaped body, glossy surface and green and brown colors on a base of a warm beige glaze. It has a beautiful cow horn glazed pattern of tall, pointed leaves with distinct veins. The hilly surface creates lots of sparkling reflections creates three-dimensional appearance in the glaze. The underside is signed with the well known logotype HAK and stamped “Denmark” in the clay mass. ____________________ 1872 the tile stove maker Joachim C H Kähler decided to retire and handed over the company to two of his seven children, his two sones Herman August Kähler, 1846-1917, and Carl Fredrik Kähler. 1875 Herman decided to start on his own and had a new workshop built. Carl Fredrik continued to run the tile stove production until 1896 when he chose to sell. It was at that time Herman began seriously to work with artistic design and also experimenting with new glazes, the work that within a decade, after started a collaboration with the architect Vilhelm Klein when ware and ornaments began to be produced in a much larger scale, made the company known worldwide. It’s was also Herman how introduce the well known logotype HAK, designed by Svend Hammershøi. Over all the years, since its foundation in 1839, the company remained in the Kähler family. So in 1974, the time come when again two brothers, Herman Jörgen Kähler and Nils Joakim Kähler, choose to go their separate ways. This time the company closed down.
