Nice green boxed set of Holmegaard? shot glasses x6
« on: December 10, 2019, 09:28:52 PM »
unused boxed set of shot glasses the box says Holme Sweden i guess an early name of Holmegaard? The glasses are round with
weighted bases which have been nicely polished with a ridge halfway up... Would love to know the period and designer would be
amazing but a date range would be great thanks :) 53/4" x 1"

Ah but, Holmegaard is Danish not Swedish so why does it say Sweden? :) 

Holme Sweden seems to be a puzzle. The only mentions I've found via Google are for photos of similar pieces on Catawiki. I wonder if Sweden is the pattern name? I'm at a loss really. We need a Scandi expert for this one.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Thank you so much Anne very puzzling isn't it :)
I have looked at the said site for what ever i could see
i noticed on one lot they say that it is Holmegaard but a rare
label i think possibly they are implying that for a period some
part of it's production maybe was moved to Swedan as with internet
this may or may not be factual information it certainly seemed to help
with the sale of the items at least. Does seem similar to the normal Holmegaard
label doesn't it :)

The flag-savvy reader might notice the flag: it is Danish.

I find it highly unlikely that Holmegaard would have outsourced to Sweden, and then marikng the products with Sweden plus a Danish flag. However, I really have no idea...

Maybe made for the German market.......mundgeblasen - blown, handgeschliffen - hand cut.  Doesn't help with the Sweden bit, but might be a clue.

Could not find anything similar in Hardernet.dk - tried Michael Banf & Per Lutken including liness without names - no sign at all.

I did do a trawl through Per Lutken designs online and in the books when I first saw your post, couldn't find an exact match but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.  Give it time......the answer is out there somewhere!

At this point Legsy I would suggest a couple of Facebook Groups where you might get sense.  I run 'Scandinavian Glass Collectors' and another good group for Holmegaard Glass was set up by Benny Berg called 'Heart of Glass'.  The particular experts there may well solve the problem.

And, I think, this is a worthwhile problem to solve.  If you do get a solution please upgrade this posting for others in the future.
