Product description
Holmegaards Glasværk • 1920s
Set of 8 Hand-Engraved Crystal Aperitif & Cocktail Glasses — Model Ulla
A refined set of eight crystal glasses, crafted from fine-quality crystal and decorated with precise hand engraving. With a delicate capacity of 100 ml, these glasses are ideally suited for aperitifs, liqueurs, dessert wines, and classic cocktails, offering an elegant presentation while preserving aroma and balance.
The gently rounded bowls are beautifully proportioned, resting on slender stems with well-balanced feet that give each glass a graceful and timeless silhouette. The hand-cut geometric pattern forms crisp, light-catching facets that enhance the brilliance and clarity of the crystal, adding both visual depth and a subtle tactile quality.
Light yet well-weighted in the hand, these glasses reflect Holmegaard’s dedication to proportion, usability, and understated elegance. Their design is truly timeless — equally appropriate for contemporary settings and classic interiors — making them as functional as they are collectible.

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, earning a reputation for exceptional clarity, craftsmanship, and durability.
By the early 20th century — particularly during the 1920s — Holmegaard had become a leading force in European glass and crystal design, successfully combining traditional handcraft with emerging modern ideals. Today, antique Holmegaard pieces are highly sought after by collectors and design connoisseurs, admired not only for their beauty but also for their enduring significance in the history of Scandinavian design.
The glasses will be carefully packaged and securely protected for shipping.
