Vase with lid 1922

This vase with lid was made by Herman A. Kähler. The dark glaze of this vase is so striking. It's as if Kähler was trying to capture the essence of something ancient, something elemental. Imagine him in his studio, the scent of clay and fire filling the air, his hands shaping the form with a kind of reverence. You see the light catching on the curves, highlighting the subtle textures, the imperfections that give it so much character. What did he intend to hold within it? Secrets? Memories? It reminds me of other potters and painters, all grappling with the same questions of form and surface, each finding their own way to express something profound. It’s about embracing the unexpected, allowing the material to guide you, and trusting your intuition. We are all constantly building upon each other's creativity. Isn't it kind of amazing?
