Bio
The Marguerite service was introduced by Kähler in the early 1930s and soon became one of the workshop’s most popular series. The decoration was executed by hand and quickly found its way into many Danish homes as both functional and decorative tableware. Today, the Marguerite service is considered one of the most iconic examples of Kähler’s interwar production, where traditional floral motifs were combined with the functional design language of the period.
