Holmegaards Glasværk • 1920s
Set of 6 Hand-Engraved Crystal Champagne & Cocktail Glasses — Model Ulla
An elegant set of six crystal glasses, crafted from fine-quality crystal and finished with delicate hand engraving. The small, beautifully proportioned bowls with a capacity of 120 ml are ideal for champagne, sparkling wines, and classic cocktails, allowing the drink to express its character while preserving freshness and aroma.
The slender stems and well-balanced feet give each glass a light, refined silhouette. The geometric motif, cut entirely by hand, creates crisp, light-catching facets that enhance the brilliance and clarity of the crystal while adding a subtle tactile richness.
Light yet substantial in the hand, these glasses embody the perfect balance between beauty and functionality. Their design is truly timeless — just as elegant today as it was a century ago — and they sit effortlessly on both modern tables and in classic interiors.

Historical Note — The Manufactory
Founded in 1825, Holmegaards Glasværk is Denmark’s oldest and most renowned glass manufactory and a cornerstone of Scandinavian glass and crystal production. From the 19th century onward, Holmegaard produced both everyday glassware and refined tableware, establishing a reputation for exceptional clarity, durability, and craftsmanship.
By the early 20th century — particularly during the 1920s — Holmegaard had become a leading name in European glass and crystal design, successfully bridging traditional handcraft with emerging modern ideals. Today, antique Holmegaard pieces are highly sought after by collectors and design connoisseurs, valued not only for their beauty but also for their enduring place in the history of Scandinavian design.
