Kähler (HAK) art pottery vase from Denmark. It showcases the signature "cow horn" slip-trailing technique (known in Danish as kohornsteknik), featuring fluid, swirling abstract vines and raised dot motifs on a rich matte blue background.

The distinct styling of the incised script and the accompanying markings strongly point to Jens Thirslund as the designer, who served as an influential artistic director for Kähler during the 1930s-40s. He heavily popularized this specific matte blue glaze combined with dense, swirling cow-horn slip-trailed patterns.

c. 1930s-40s
