A Signed Pair of Nils Kähler Vases from HAK
Two stoneware vases handcrafted by Nils Kähler for Hermann A. Kähler Ceramics (HAK) in Denmark during the 1960s. The rich turquoise, blue, and brown glaze is characteristic of Nils Kähler’s expressive studio palette — earthy and bold in equal measure. Both pieces are labelled HAK Nils, confirming their attribution.
Sold as second sortment due to minor dents on the rim of each vase (visible in photos). These are production-era imperfections and do not affect the visual presence or display quality of the pieces. Priced accordingly.
