Vase Per Lutken for Holmegaard

This blown glass vase is a superb collectible piece from the Danish glassworks Holmegaard, designed by the famous master glassmaker Per Lütken. The engraving under the base confirms its exact authenticity: • The mark: The handwritten inscription "Holmegaard" can be seen written in diamond point along the polished pontil. • The monogram: The stylised letter resembles the monogram "PL" of Per Lütken, who led the artistic creation of the factory from 1942 to 1998. • The model number: The engraved number 18159 corresponds precisely to this model of small stout vase with a flared neck. This model is part of the famous "Safir" collection, launched in 1955. It features the iconic colour of the collection, a deep, intense, and translucent sapphire blue that thickens dramatically at the base and neck.
