The Omaggio series is a modern design classic. The iconic hand-painted stripes are represented in countless Nordic homes and loved by design enthusiasts all over the world.

Other products are available in the Omaggio series, including different sized vases, matching serving bowls and dishes (search for "Kahler Omaggio"). The Omaggio vase, made from faience ceramic, is in fact an interpretation of the historical Kahler vases from the early and mid 20th century. The modern Omaggio vase was inspired by Tulle Emborg, one of the talented women painters in Kahler's Danish workshop in the 1930s and 1940s. As in the old Kahler workshop, each and every stripe has been hand-painted by talented women painters. The vases then go through multiple hand processes in connection with glazing, quality checking and fine polishing. In this way, your Omaggio vase is not only a modern design icon, but also a piece of Nordic cultural history which has been reinterpreted and revived by the talented designer duo Stilleben (Ditte Reckweg and Jelena Schou Nordentoft). "We have always been totally fascinated by Kahler's epoch-making ceramics, which have played an enormous part in putting Denmark on the map when it comes to art and design. It is a great pleasure to help bring the art ceramics heritage into a new era and a new form language", say the two designers. It is Kahler's mission to create accessible art for the people. Now a leading Scandinavian design brand, their roots go back to 1839 as a small Danish pottery producer. For more than 175 years, their tradition has been to collaborate with significant artists to provide distinctive and contemporary collections. Kahler is firmly established as part of Danish cultural heritage, and they strive to preserve history and traditions in each handmade design. Height 125mm (4.9 In.) Diameter 80mm (3.1 In.)
