Are Kähler products dishwasher proof?

All Kähler Kitchen products are dishwasher safe. However, we recommend that you still handle your ceramic products with care as using a dishwasher may shorten the lifespan of your ceramics. High temperature, fast temperature fluctuations, and ceramic products knocking and bumping into each other inside the dishwasher may all result in damaged goods. This is especially true for faience products. 

Are Kähler products microwave safe?

Yes, Kähler tableware is microwave safe, but never put an empty ceramic item in the microwave oven. Ceramic items are sensitive to high temperature fluctuations, so do not pour hot water into a ceramic bowl coming straight from the microwave.

What is the history of Kähler design?

Kähler is a Danish design brand with a long and charming history. Kähler’s history dates back all the way to 1839 when Herman Joachim Kähler opened up a pottery shop in the Danish town of Næstved. The pottery was later taken over by his sons, and this was when the success story truly began. They started experimenting with shapes and different types of glazes, attracting numerous renowned designers to the pottery. This eventually led to international recognition and the Kähler brand grew. Kähler was family-owned for four generations.

Kähler Design today

Kähler is best known for their ceramic assortment, such as vases, dinnerware and candleholders.
