A beautiful classic Danish design lamp in mouth-blown glass from one piece. The color is opal white which gives a nice room lighting.
The history of Holmegaard Glassworks began in 1825. Count Christian Danneskiold-Samsøe asked the King of Denmark for permission to establish a glassworks in Holmegaard Mose. However, the Earl died in 1823 without receiving an answer to his request. Shortly after his death, he received permission from the king to establish a glassworks. His widow, Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe, therefore decided to continue the project.
The first production at the Holmegaard glass factory started in 1825. Initially, the factory only produced green bottles. However, Henriette also wanted to produce clear glass cups. Thus, Bohemian glassblowers were able to manufacture these. The history of glassworks is the story of a few small glassworks in a peat bog. In a period of 185 years they have grown into a large modern group. In the 20th century, artists emerged and designed Holmegaard's glass products. This was the beginning of a long and proud tradition.
