Old Kuttrolf Decanter - Applied Vines/Berries

(1/2) > >>

Pinkspoons:
It's quite roughly finished - the line where the neck has been applied is obvious, the end of the stopper appears to have been just snapped off instead of ground (the snap is just below a bevel), the applied decoration is a bit sharp in some places (not chipped, though) and there are tooling marks all over it.

Can anyone give a rough age and/or country of origin? It looked around 1900-1920's 'Art Nouveau' in the photographs when I bought it, but now I've been able to handle it, it feels earlier - I just have no idea how much. And I might be wrong - my experience of pre-20th century glass is amazingly limited.  :oops:  

Ivo:
It first appears in the Holmegaard catalogue 1900 with a height of 30,5 cm; in the 1915 and 1927 price lists there are 4 versions (3/4 - 1/4 liter) and it was taken out of production in 1931.
(from Dansk Glas 1825-1925)

Pinkspoons:
Oh, so it is actually Holmegaard? Wow, there's a surprise!  :D  

Thanks, Ivo!

My one is 27.3cm high... does the ever-useful Dansk book say when one that height would have been made?

I've a few pieces of Holmegaard from 1928-1930 (not kuttrolfs, though), and the quality is really fine on those, so does the coarseness of this indicate that it would be one of the earlier versions?
