Kähler and is best known for leading the exports of the ceramic company Herman A. Kahler Keramik, founded by his great-grandfather in 1839. With new designs and distribution models, Nils expanded Kähler's influence and popularity worldwide. Nils Kähler had a particular talent for following the design trends of the time, which is evident in his production. Although he was very enthusiastic about complex traditional pottery, the new production was characterised by much simpler patterns. He created design objects such as ashtrays, vases, carafes, and lamp bases for Le Klint lamps. Made of stoneware, these bases were fired in his workshop. The colours of the salt glaze are preferred, as well as turquoise or warm golden colours, combined with raw surfaces or embossed patterns.
