Ashtray 1922

"Ashtray" is a ceramic work by Danish artist Herman A. Kähler, dating back to 1922. This small, circular ashtray showcases Kähler's mastery of glaze and design. The piece features a distinctive crackled glaze, which adds a unique texture to the surface. It is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. Kähler is known for his contributions to the Danish Arts and Crafts movement, and his ceramic works often incorporated traditional Scandinavian motifs. This small but exquisite ashtray is a testament to his artistry and the enduring beauty of ceramic art.
