Topic: Holmegaard Photos - 2 Uncatalogued Patterns

[Pinkspoons]

I had a small number of photos sent to me this morning of a visit to the Holmegaard factory in 1973.

Whilst all are fascinating, one of them stands out because it shows two uncatalogued patterns.

I knew about the glass bird - they were for sale only to visitors of the factory. I have one that was made in 1970, and one that was made the day these photographs were taken. But the 'Dog-Bone' vase is a new one to me, completely. I knew Lutken designed one in plain glass (although it never went into full production), but this has swirled colour in the base!

Wouldn't you say Bohemian if you saw those!

Leni! That's just mean!  But I certainly wouldn't have said Holmegaard at first glance.

I like the colours though - they're the same as the Carnaby and Palet ranges. The bird from 1970 is a lot more petite and subtle - I'll have to photograph it soon.

Oh, Frank, if you read this - would you like some images of the birds for the Zoo?
