Topic: Plea for American Holmegaard labels!

[Pinkspoons]

Just putting together the labels section of my site, and I've just realised that I have sold the only 2 items I had bearing a pair of specific labels and I lost the decent close-up photographs of them with the death of my hard drive. 

These are the ones I'm after: Image

They were used on trans-Atlantic export pieces, and so that's probably where they'll still reside, so please think of the poor little Brit up to his eyeballs in html, American members, if you have a rummage through your glass collection anytime soon - i just need a sharp close-up image the same size or thereabouts as the one I've linked to above. 

On the off-chance that anyone is interested, I've so far found 18 different Holmegaard and Kastrup labels.

Oops - meant to put this in the Cafe!

I think your posting is fine in Glass Nic, it's research after all.  Not much good to you if it falls off the Cafe listings!

Ah, you're probably right, Max. Maximum visability and all that. 

But I just keep getting the feeling that I'm flooding the board with Holmegaard threads that nobody's really too interested in...

I personally find them very interseting, Nic.
I only have 4 pieces of Holmegaard, with 6 Atlantic glasses on the way (all with labels). I have also just bought the book: Kastrup & Holmegaard's Glassworks 1825-1975.

So, keep 'em coming!!!

I've been hunting that book for a while, but everytime I find it for sale online it's either already been sold and the site hadn't been updated or it's rediculously expensive - so let me know if there's anything interesting in it.

Nic,
Check your e-mail. Hope that helps.

Just spied some glass on eBay bearing a near-mint set of the labels in question. Shame the same can't be said for the glass they're on.... but I long ago reached the absurd point of buying glass for the paper bits glued to it.
