Product description
Holmegaards Glasværk • 1920s
Set of 8 Hand-Engraved Crystal Port, Dessert Wine & Sherry Glasses — Model Ulla
An elegant set of eight crystal glasses, crafted from fine-quality crystal and finished with precise hand engraving. With a refined capacity of 70 ml, these glasses are ideally suited for port wine, dessert wines, and sherry, offering a balanced presentation that highlights aroma, richness, and depth.
The compact, carefully proportioned bowls are designed to concentrate the bouquet, while the slender stems and well-balanced feet provide a graceful and timeless silhouette. The hand-cut geometric motif creates crisp, light-catching facets that enhance the brilliance and clarity of the crystal, adding visual depth and a subtle tactile quality.
Light yet substantial in the hand, these glasses reflect Holmegaard’s dedication to proportion, functionality, and understated elegance. Their design is refined and timeless — equally appropriate for formal tastings, classic interiors, or modern table settings.

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 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.
The glasses will be carefully packaged and securely protected for shipping.
