Vase à coquelicots

Kähler has made Danish ceramics since 1839, when Herman J. Kähler opened a small pottery workshop in Næstved and turned his first vase. The workshop rose to international fame after his son Herman A. Kähler took over in 1875, built a new workshop at Kählersbakken and opened its doors to artists, a tradition of collaboration that shapes the brand to this day. Kähler joined Rosendahl Design Group in 2018, alongside Rosendahl, Holmegaard, Lyngby Porcelæn and Kay Bojesen, and Montreal Lighting & Hardware carries a curated selection of its vases, grinders, glassware and candle holders for Canadian homes.

The brand's best-known series today is Hammershøi, designed by Hans-Christian Bauer as a tribute to Svend Hammershøi, who joined Kähler in 1893 and became known for strong contours and distinct vertical grooves. The grooved vases, grinders and glasses bring that heritage to the modern table. Omaggio vases carry hand-painted stripes in black, silver and mother of pearl, Urbania lighthouses cast a warm glow from tealights inside small ceramic buildings, and the Gingerbread collection brings ceramic houses and ornaments to the Christmas season. From the dining table to the windowsill, Kähler pairs handmade tradition with a modern Danish look.
