Topic: Kastrup Glas Possibly Pre Holmegaard

[CZSeventy5]

Hello all.

I purchased two 'vases' that have a foil label that says Kastrup Glas with a Fleur De Lis. I've found a similar but not identical label. I think these are certainly from prior to the Holmegaard merger (1965 - 1967, or by some accounts 1977???) and might be quite old.

They are a different proportion than the other Gulvvase examples I've seen, and smaller. The tall one 8.5 inches and the smaller is 6.5 inches.

Any one ever seen anything similar?

hello
I own a couple of Kastrup/ Holmegaard kluk bottles with this foil label from Kastrup. So far I´m right, Holmegaard and Kastrup merged in the late 18XX .

I have the feeling that the labels where sometimes mixed a little bit.

Here you find a lot of Kastrup/Holmegaard glass items

Thank you for the link. Even in that extensive list I could not find the same label or shape of bottle. If you have any pictures of your labels or items, I'd love to see them.

This foil label was used in the 1950s, if I recall correctly.

Holmegaard and Kastrup merged as Kastrup-Holmegaard in 1965, the public-facing branding was changed to just Holmegaard in 1971, and the company dropped Kastrup from it's trading name in 1975.
