About the Item

Vintage Scandinavian Modern vase was designed by Per Lütken for Holmegaard as a part of Duckling series of vases. The vase is hand blown in smoky grey glass and signed and dated on the bottom with "Holmegaard 19PL61". Per Lütken (1916–1998) was a renowned Danish glass designer who succeeded Jacob Bang as art director and chief designer at the Holmegaard and Kastrup glassworks in 1946. In 1950s Lütken shifted from classical modern aesthetic of his predecessor to fluid, organic, free-flowing forms under the influence of Italian art glass of that time. In his lifetime he designed more than 3,000 pieces of glass for Holmegaard, with many of them considered design icons. Lütken's work is represented at numerous museums in the Nordic countries.

Carl Erickson Sculptural Vase, American Art Studio Glass 1940s-1950s
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Sculptural, heavy Mid Century Modern clear glass decorative vase or vessel was created by Carl Erickson for Erickson Glass Works. The vase is decorated with controlled bubbles that are radiating upwards from its base; asymmetrical, free-flowing rim juxtaposes the regular bubble's pattern, guiding the eye along the lines of the piece. The vase is signed by the artist in etching on the bottom; it is in good vintage condition with slight, age-appropriate signs of use on the bottom. This piece will work very well in any style of interior or would make a great gift for an art and design enthusiast. Carl Erickson (1899-1966) worked at Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, joining his father as an apprentice and spending the next 20 years developing a high level of craftsmanship, including precision use of controlled bubbles, a technique often associated with Pairpoint, that was widely used by Erickson in his own glass designs. In the early 1930s he was employed by Libbey Glass and from 1937 - by the Blenko Glass Company. After leaving Blenko, Carl founded his own art glass studio in Bremen, Ohio in 1943. Erickson glass was hand blown, so no two pieces could be identical. Erickson made reproductions for a number of museums, including the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C., Old Sturbridge Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, and the Ohio State Historical Society Museum. Many of his glass creations have been selected for display at several distinguished museums, and in 1953 a traveling display...

Scandinavian Modern Art Glass Vase by Börne Augustsson for Åseda
By Aseda
Located in Grythyttan, SE
Börne Augustsson's artistry shines through in this Swedish Modern glass vase created for Åseda Glassworks. Meticulously hand-blown, this Scandinavian Modern piece showcases Augustsson's organic design sensibilities. The vase features a striking violet, so dark that it appears to be black, casing beneath a transparent layer, with the latter expertly treated to create captivating organic pulled shapes. Notably, this vase bears an engraving underneath: "Fa W Johansson Orrefors 25." Despite this marking, it was indeed designed and crafted by Börne Augustsson for Åseda Glassworks. Walter Johansson gained notoriety for his somewhat questionable involvement in buying and selling...
