Designer Desire: Hugo Kohler

Montage of Hugo Kohler ceramics

We bought a large vintage plate last week. We were in two minds as to whether we should pick it up or not. It was mainly brown and slipware decorated with a couple getting married; it had a very folk art feel.

We got it home and, after studying it with a magnifying glass, we managed to decipher the marks on the back. It was crudely incised with kohler biel keramik handarbeit. We looked online and discovered that it was made by Swiss ceramicist, Hugo Kohler.

We found lots and lots of other pieces by him for sale on eBay and Etsy, amongst other places, but couldn’t find out anything about Hugo Kohler himself. Can you help?
