Tall Signed Nils Kähler Lamp for Herman A. Kähler, Mid-Century Denmark 1960s

About the Item

For sale is an elegant Mid-Century Modernist table lamp designed by master ceramicist, Nils Kähler for Herman A. Kähler (HAK) of Denmark, in the 1960s. This tall version of this stoneware table lamp consists of Kähler's signature deep, rich turquoise-blue salt glaze, with a repeating impressed herringbone pattern, juxtaposed against the streaked and smooth earthy matt collar, a hallmark of the artist's work. The lamp is signed "HAK - Nils" and stamped "DENMARK" to the base and is in good working order and excellent vintage condition, with the only issue of note being a small inconspicuous chip to the top rim (see photograph). The lamp is controlled via a push-button switch on the lamp holder and is sold without a shade. Nils Kähler began his career as an apprentice with Herman A. Kähler, the famous family ceramics business, where he learned the skills needed to become a master ceramist. He created numerous pieces for the company, including vases, dishes and sculptures. His creations quickly became renowned for their elegance and quality. His work has been exhibited in museums around the world and has won many prestigious awards. Nils Kähler was known for his simple, elegant style, which influenced many other ceramic designers. Ceramic base: H - 32.5cm / D - 12cm Total Height is 39.5cm
