Bio:
Nils Kähler (1906–1979) was a Danish ceramicist and a fourth-generation member of the Kähler family in Næstved. Following the death of his father, Herman H.C. Kähler, in 1940, he continued the workshop together with his brother Herman J. Kähler. Nils Kähler worked particularly with stoneware, developing a simple, modern vocabulary of forms combined with distinctive glazes. During the 1950s and 60s, he experimented with intense turquoise glazes as well as black and grey glaze effects. He left the Kähler workshop in 1969.
