Bio:
Svend Hammershøi was one of the most influential figures in Danish ceramic history and worked closely with Kähler for several decades. His works from the 1930s are distinguished by disciplined, architectural forms, horizontal ribbing, and refined, often dark-toned glaze experiments. These qualities place his production firmly within Danish functionalism and make his Kähler pieces enduring classics and highly desirable collector’s items.
