Topic: My first piece of Holmegaard!

[deco.queen]

I worked at the local mall yesterday and found this little gem on sale!  :hiclp:  As soon as I looked at the bottom I knew it was Holmegaard, it's signed.    It's only 3 1/2" tall but what beautiful crystal.  I was wondering if someone here could tell me what the number means, if anything, 6510?  Thanks!!

The number should be 16510 - it's the pattern / shape number. Holmegaard started signing pieces with these numbers, rather than the year of production, between 1960-64 (depending on the design series).

This vase is from the 'Umanak' series, designed by Per Lütken in 1959, and is the smallest size.

Thank you so much for that information!  My great grandparents were Danish so this a keeper.
