ABOUT PRODUCTID 6159
This conical ceramic vessel, designed by Nils Kahler and produced by the Kähler (HAK) manufactory in Denmark during the 1960s, stands 11 cm tall with a diameter of 16 cm. Its form combines a wide, gently flared rim with a narrower cylindrical base. The upper section is glazed in a warm, earthy ochre tone, transitioning from semi-matte to subtly glossy, and is adorned with a repeating chevron pattern in dark brown and golden-yellow shades. The lower part remains unglazed or only lightly glazed, revealing a rough, matte, dark brown ceramic with visible speckles. The transition between glazed and unglazed areas is distinct, and the whole is marked by harmonious proportions and precise craftsmanship typical of Scandinavian mid-century modern design. The vessel is preserved in very good vintage condition, showing only minimal signs of age-appropriate wear. This piece echoes the voice of Danish design from the 1960s—a period when functionality blended seamlessly with decoration and nature found its way into interiors through subtle details. The ochre glaze conveys warmth and calm, while the sharp zigzag pattern suggests the rhythm of everyday life, as if the vessel were telling a story of simplicity and mindfulness in daily objects. The contrast between the raw, textured base and the smooth, lustrous upper section underscores the Scandinavian appreciation for both naturalness and refined form. The vessel may be displayed on a low sideboard of light wood or a marble surface, where its colors and textures harmonize with natural materials. It will suit mid-century modern arrangements, but may also be paired with contemporary minimalist accents—a glass carafe, a single eucalyptus branch, or a ceramic lamp with a clean silhouette. It can serve as a decorative bowl in the living room or as a functional platter for fruit or
