His son Hermann August Kaehler (1846-1917) began experimenting with lustred glazes in the late 1880s. The pottery became best known for these special glazes, with their silvered, reddened colouring often with a 'crackled'  surface - as in this vase. In 1900 he won a silver medal in the international exhibition, Paris. After his death and with the pottery named Kaehler Keramik, his sons Herman J Kaehler and  Nils A. Kaehler continued making lustred wares into the 1920s, specialising in painted decoration rather than a more simple overall glaze (see 251-154-1894) . Jens Thirslund (1897-1942) was their chief designer.  Thirslund trained initially as a housepainter, but subsequently studied Persian ceramics and married into the Kaehler family.","physicalDescription":"Earthenware vase of globular form with short neck and everted mouth, supporting on low foot; with painted decoration in red lustre on white ground.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Thirslund, Jens","id":"A20398"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":"probably"},{"name":{"text":"Thirslund, Jens","id":"A20398"},"association":{"text":"decorator","id":"x30812"},"note":"possibly"}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Kaehler Keramik","id":"A20295"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"AAT25230"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"earthenware","id":"x29356"},{"text":"glaze","id":"AAT15091"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Earthenware painted with red lustre decoration","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Art Pottery","id":"THES49021"},{"text":"Earthenware","id":"THES48964"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006BF7822"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"006","id":"THES338039"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Vase","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Naestved, South Zealand","id":"x46215"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"c. 1925","earliest":"1920-01-01","latest":"1929-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'HAK' in monogram","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Mark for Herman A Kaehler, incised"},{"content":"An indistinct symbol","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Incised"}],"objectHistory":"Shown in exhibition '20th century Scandinavian Ceramics and Glass', V&A, 1989","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Vase, probably designed by and possibly decorated by Jens Thirslund, made by Kaehler Keramik, Denmark, about 1925, earthenware","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Opie, Jennifer Hawkins. <u>Scandinavia: ceramics & glass in the twentieth century</u>.
