Bio
The Marguerite service was introduced by Kähler in the early 1930s and soon became one of the workshop’s most popular tableware series. The hand-painted decoration, featuring white daisies on a blue ground, made it both functional and decorative, and it was widely used in Danish homes. 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.
