Holmegaard Glass Factory is in the town of Fensmark, Holmegaard. The company was founded in 1823 after Count Christian Conrad Sophus Danneskiold-Samsøe petitioned the Danish king for permission to build a glass factory at Holmegaard Mose (lit. 'Holmegaard Bog'). He died before permission was granted. But after his death, when permission was finally received, his widow, Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe, pursued the project, and the factory began producing green bottles in 1825, moving on to table-glass within its first decade.
Much of its early work was derivative and inconsequential, but between the 1930s and the 1980s, its fortunes were transformed by the designs of Jacob E. Bang (1899-1965), Per Lütken (1916-98), and Bang's son, Michael (1944-2002).
Today, the company is known for its high-quality Danish design products.
Per Lütken was a Danish glassmaker famous for his work at the Holmegaard Glass Factory. Lütken has set his signature on the history of Danish glassmaking, designing more than 3,000 pieces of glass for Holmegaard, a company he worked for from 1942 until he died in 1998. The vase presented is:
A Cylindrical vase in forest green glass, 1960.
Engraved "Holmegaard 19 PL 60"
Height 9 1/4" (23.5cm) Width 2 1/8" (5.5cm)
In Marjon: in minor
Rondo is a circular painting in art. It was developed during the Renaissance period in Italy and is very much seen in the paintings of Madonnas. This kind of painting is also called a tondo. Rondo is also a form of music with frequent themes, evident in the sonata movement during its final stages.
Scandinavian modernism is perhaps the warmest and most organic iteration of modernist design. The work of the designers associated with vintage Scandinavian modern furniture was founded on centuries-old beliefs in both quality craftsmanship and the idea that beauty should enhance even the humblest accessories of daily life. less
